FDA Tells Pregnant Women it's OK to Consume Mercury!

[Guest guest]

The U.S. FDA is urging the government to amend its advisory that women

and children should limit how much fish they eat. They argue that the

benefits of seafood outweigh the health risks and that most people

should eat more fish, even if it contains mercury.

 

However, the FDA's recommendations have alarmed scientists at the

Environmental Protection Agency, who in internal memos criticized them

as " scientifically flawed and inadequate " and said they fell short of

the " scientific rigor routinely demonstrated by the EPA. "

 

The FDA sent its draft report...

The FDA strikes again! Do they work for us,the people, or for industry? I think

I already know the answer to that question...

The FDA allows so many know dangerous toxins in products we use everyday, from

sodium laurel sufate to pesticides to cigarettes.  The regulators are controlled

by industry lobbies. This is what happens when we elect government officials who

don't believe in government.

Well, I don't have so much of a problem with cigarettes- as long as people don't

do it around me. That's a known risk. We all partake in those every day- from

driving a car, to drinking out of that fountain at the park, It's when the

government willingly puts its own constituents at risk for the sake of free

enterprise- and doesn't want us informed of that risk. I think I sound like a

real nut when I discuss the dangers of the FDA and the USDA-among others- with

people who are uninformed about such things. Oh well.
