Here's something interesting: “The pharmaceutical industry is the most powerful special interest in Washington. They not only have the money to hire 300 lobbyists on Capitol Hill, contribute $9 million to both political parties and spend tens of millions on advertising, but they have been also to put a number of former FDA commissioners on their payroll... ..."acting FDA commissioners Michael Friedman, Mark Novitch, Arthur Hull Hayes and Jere Goyan are all currently employed by pharmaceutical companies." house.gov More: "...More than half of the experts hired to advise the government on the safety and effectiveness of medicine have financial relationships with the pharmaceutical companies that will be helped or hurt by their decisions, a USA TODAY study found. "These experts are hired to advise the Food and Drug Administration on which medicines should be approved for sale, what the warning labels should say and how studies of drugs should be designed. "The experts are supposed to be independent, but USA TODAY found that 54% of the time, they have a direct financial interest in the drug or topic they are asked to evaluate. These conflicts include helping a pharmaceutical company develop a medicine, then serving on an FDA advisory committee that judges the drug. "The conflicts typically include stock ownership, consulting fees or research grants..." mercola.com OK, I get it. It strongly appears that... The FDA is controlled by the drug companies! I wonder who controls the drug companies. Maybe I can find out on the Internet...
