Is the FDA controlled by big drug companies?
Is it all about the money and not our health?
Are they being too rough on natural supplement companies?

but the article sure does make you think about all these drugs that are out there...and if they are really helping people, other then just numbing the feeling for a while, like an alcoholic would.

There are alot more articles on that web site about stuff concerning the fda, and it's direct association with the drug companies.

here are more articles for you people who want to find out the truth about the FDA and it's legal drug pushing.

Answer 1

Im sure they are getting some nice change(aka pocket lining) from the Drug Companies.

Answer 2

I don't see what the FDA has to do with much of what the article is talking about. It seems to have lumped adverse reaction, with threat of death, and death all together. i do not see where health supplements are going to keep people from most of what is listed. How is this going to help bedsores, which are usually found on bed bound people who are in the last stages of their lives in nursing homes or on paraplegic/ mobility altered patients? Supplements do not give anyone the ability to be repositioned more often and if the persons ability to swallow or absorb nutrients is that impaired, I guess it wouldn't matter much what you forced into the feeding tube if it doesn't matter what kind of existence you force people to live in.

The article is inflammatory and does not even begin to read like unaltered peer reviewed information.

Answer 3

of course they care
