Wrongo Albie,
The FDA definitely serves a purpose protecting the public regarding drug safety, and has done so since it’s inception back in the early 1900’s.
Regarding drug products, I definitely give them the benefit of the doubt. If you want examples, let me know.
All I need to give them a big thumbs down (among SO many others) is that they ok aspartame, but nix stevia. That’s all I need to know to realize they are useless at best.
