The Food & Drug Administration has been enveloped in dishonesty in recent years. The FDA has become a lackey of the big pharmaceutical companies and now a top-level insider has blown the whistle on what’s been going on. David Graham, the associate director for science and medicine, testified before Congress about the huge cover-up going in the agency at the behest of the drug industry. He basically said the drugs that could harm or kill people were being kept on the market in order to protect drug makers. The FDA is trying to silence Graham and get rid of him, but some representatives in Congress fortunately are trying to protect him. Ironically, the FDA has been maligning the safety of the drugs coming from Canada, which many Americans buy, when along it’s the drugs being made in our own country that are dangerous. The good news is that a credibility gap has now opened, and Consumer Reports is right on top of it. The magazine has produced a Web site for consumers to check the safety, effectiveness and cost of drugs. It’s the Consumer Reports “Best Buy Drugs” site, and it is available now.
