"We have met with Dr. Greene on a number of occasions in an effort to encourage him to evaluate his ethical approach to this topic," stated Kastel. "But his zeal to promote DHA, without differentiating between natural and synthetic sources that might not actually be effective, was unwavering."
Kastel added: "Dr. Greene's response reminds me of the famous quote by Upton Sinclair, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.'"
