FDA protection
FDA guardians of the tobacco industy and not the US public
The FDA now has the role of approving the marketing and consumption of a product that directly promotes heart disease, strokes and cancer. By deciding to take the role of “censoring” the tobacco companies advertising instead of focusing on regulating the heath issues around smoking, the FDA, will now lend its stamp of approval to a product that openly destroys peoples’ health.
The newest group of regulations that has been touted as so good and as the first time the FDA has decided to “regulate” the tobacco industry contains the follow provisions:
1. It bans candy cigarettes and fruit-flavored cigarettes, but doesn’t even require cigarette companies to disclose a list of all ingredients they use until nearly a year-and-a-half after it is on the market.
2. It bans the use of the word “light” from cigarette packages, which is meaningless, because smokers have grown accustomed to buying cigarettes with color codes that indicate a “light” designation.
3. FDA in the position of approving the marketing and consumption of a product that directly promotes heart disease, strokes and cancer.
So the FDA, now approvals and gives its blessing to tobacco a product known and research has proved to be harmful to peoples’ health, maybe that is not news. The FDA also encourages the use of big pharm. drugs and services, while targeting the natural health food and product industry as potentially harmful to health.
FDA are our guardians of our health and safety –something is wrong with this picture. It deserves the lame turtle award.
