Change NEEDED at the FDA

Obama better do something about these jerks right quick. Melamine in baby formula? Failure to police salmonella in peanut butter? And now: HIDING EVIDENCE that MERCURY is found in high fructose CORN SYRUP???

DISMANTLE THE FDA. MAKE OUR FOOD AND DRUGS SAFE AGAIN!

Sign up with Consumers Union (like me) and keep abreast of the latest here:

The Federal standards for water are much tighter than the standards for Fish which is one part per million (a thousand times higher than the water standard.)

I'm just saying that poisonous isn't just in the compound, it's in the dosage. You can't just freak out because an obviously not dangerous amount of a chemical winds up in the food supply. In that way madness lies.

Plus the form that mercury is in is important. Some forms are easily absorbed by the body, some aren't.
