Why am I not surprised that he was a Big Tobacco stooge back in the day?
>Dr. Croce, who has a medical degree but no Ph.D., showed his own willingness to buck scientific consensus when he became an adviser to the Council for Tobacco Research. A federal court later found that the council was central to a conspiracy to deceive the public on the dangers of smoking. Dr. Croce stayed on until the council was disbanded in the industry’s more than $100 billion settlement with tobacco plaintiffs in 1998.
>In 1996, Dr. Croce and co-workers made international news with their discovery of a gene called the fragile histidine triad — FHIT for short. His claims for its importance could hardly have been more sweeping: Damage to the gene, Dr. Croce told The Associated Press, was probably “the starting point of the most common human malignancies, including lung, esophagus and colon cancer.”
