Did you know trans fats were bad for you? Sure you did; unless you have been living under a rock but the FDA has finally banned them.
This was information we were taught in chiropractic school 28 years ago. So why did it take so long for the FDA to ban them? That question goes to the core of problems and concerns about the FDA.
Many directors of the FDA have either been CEOs of chemical or pharmaceutical companies or leave the FDA to become VPs or CEOs of those companies.
This blatant conflict of interest puts us all in danger. Many drugs, food additives or chemicals are initially banned but later allowed when more pressure is applied.
Unfortunately this means we must educate ourselves about our food and medications. At WOW, we constantly read and share this kind of information with our patients. We post much of this info on our Facebook page. Like us and you’ll get tidbits of health information every day.
