Our experiments were conducted in mice,

Mice can live for months eating their own poop. That, and many other things don't necessarily translate to humans.

“That, and many other things don’t necessarily translate to humans.”

I have always wondered about that sort of thing myself. How does testing something on a rat get translated into a problem for a human?

For instance, why does the ability to produce a cancer on a rat’s ass by repeatedly applying a product not made for rats’ asses translate into that product being called cancerous to human lungs or such? Especially when they use a concentrate thousands of times stronger on the rat’s ass and in a form that is not like that being consumed by the human.

Don’t we have enough dimocrats to do this kind of testing on?
