So many people use/buy herbs. The FDA does not evaluate their nutritional and medical values. Why the hell not?

It's because the FDA considers that to be alternative therapy and hasn't conducted any studies in regards to long term effects. The other reason is that drug companies give huge payoffs to the FDA to approve their drug, so it's more lucrative for the FDA to approve an unsafe drug rather than an herbal remedy.

Hmmm. . .I think it's a conspiracy. . .
That won't approve anything that will HELP a person get better. . .Once a person is better, than they won't need to continue with the particular herb. . .In turn, pharm. industry will not make a significant amount of profit. . . .

It would take too much money away from the pharmaceutical companies.
