| The FDA claims that the drugs it approves are “safe.” This
charade is rapidly collapsing. PBS television’s investigative
series Frontline has aired a shocking exposé of dangerous prescription
drugs and the FDA’s complicity in allowing this outrage to occur.
The Frontline producers initially investigated drugs that had been
withdrawn from the market. After filming began, current and former FDA
employees started coming forward to give a powerful critique of what
really goes on inside the agency. As the story evolved, rather than
making a documentary about drug safety, Frontline ended up shifting
its focus to the FDA itself.
Life Extension long ago exposed the insidious relationship between
the FDA and the pharmaceutical industry that allows dangerous and ineffective
drugs to be approved.
Despite the evidence we gathered pointing to these improprieties, even
we were surprised by how deeply drug company influence has infiltrated
the FDA. That is why we have arranged to offer this one-hour Frontline
video (or DVD) to Foundation members. Not only will this documentary
be an eye-opener for you, but it will help rally others who may have
been skeptical about how severely the FDA endangers the health of the
American public. |
