&lt;p&gt;the FDA is the biggest risk to your health, after the supposed helpful? pharma drugs themselves.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a system that takes money to simply re read, not independantly test or verify....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that allows only &amp;quot;good&amp;quot; results, not ALL results to be presented&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that allows a name /sign off,on a report, not a report researched and written by that person&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that can allow overseas manufactories to import untested ingredients&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that hardly tests drug and commercial foods, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; yet can waste staff and money on harrassing small herbal and supplements makers,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and wants to lower vitamin and mineral content in foods to less than present minimum&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;cos vitamins are dangerous&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that can ban genuine health claims for fresh fruits,!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that are in truth proven by their OWN &amp;nbsp;data..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that will allow BGH milk to go unlabelled,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;yet warn about unpastuerised milk as being dangerous..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;allow statins, yet say red rice is bad,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;allow any melamine at all in any food, or animal feed,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;allow gmo foods to be produced, marketed, and be unlisted on labels&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that has an open, and wildly swinging door on hiring pharma&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; and chemical co employees and government officials&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;who almost always appear to be &amp;quot;advisors&amp;quot; at hefty bribes..umm wages??&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;crossword clue....3 letter acronym for inept/incompetent? &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; FDA!&lt;/p&gt;
