every real doctor and scientist knows
that the FDA is a complete joke.

Diet anything was always banned in my
house, my mom worked for Merck and
my dad is a doctor and have always told
me stories about the bad side effects
and allergic reactions they always see
soon after new drugs hit the market.

This IS the test phase, rats and humans
are worlds apart because of drug interactions,
genetics and environmental factors, and this
cannot be recreated in a lab.

Every real doctor knows that all one really needs
is good food, exercise, some aspirin and the occasional
good ol'fashion antibiotics, but nothing from the 3rd and
4th generation of antibiotics since they destroy your liver
and immune system, and you'll need a pill for that too  

Most new drugs are just a well long planned fix for a fix of an old fix.

** and every doctor also knows about the 5-7 day a year
all inclusive simposium at the beach sponsored by big-pharma
so everyone can get drunk, mingle and they can push their
new line products that you have in you medicine cabinet right
now, and I've been to these things and let me tell you, they
spare no expense!"

Having my first child this topic is somewhat in my foremind.. Hmmm i thought in the U.S. aspartane and Phanylanyline (flappy fanny as its called in my house) was banned in the use of soft drinks. Is this information incorrect?

I know tell me about it we spend ages in tescos (im from england) trying to find soft drinks that dont contain both those things. We eventually found a winnie the pooh drink in several flavours that didnt have either of those things in but 4 months down the road they have stopped stocking them for some reason... I bet it contained something else in it that was bad but I didnt recognise any other 'bad' ingredient. maybe they werent seling alot of them coz they were more expensive then the other brand drinks but not by much.

I'm the walking dead.

Generally, if it is processed, comes in a box or a can or it is ready made to be cooked in your microwave it is NOT FOOD.   Fresh fruit, vegetables and meats are food.  You should be able to look at it and know what is in it.  I don't read ingredients because I made it.

Are you folks inferring that big Pharm might lie to us? Merely to make a dollar?
