This is just one more example of big business colluding with the FDA to fool the buying public. With well over 55% of the FDA's budget coming from the manufacturers the FDA is supposed to be poiicing, whose side do you think the FDA is on, yours or theirs? It isn't yours! Be informed and be forewarned.
