The discussed role of the FDA
The FDA has the capacity to return a drug or a marketable food to the the United States. The opening of such a market makes it possible the food, chemical and pharmaceutical companies to gain enormous sums. Many times, the bonds between pharmaceutical firms, the financial circle and the US government made it possible either to authorize food, vaccines or drug dangerous (or useless), or to prohibit drugs, apparatuses or concurrent therapies of the authorized therapies. The history of the approval of the Aspartame for a food use is edifying on this subject [http://www.mercola.com/article/aspartame/fda.htm].
