In America you have the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to protect you from harmful products or products that maintain false claims. Thanks to the FDA people of America cannot buy Venus Flytrap extract to fight their cancer, but purchasing bugs and rodent hair in your peanut butter is totally legal.
Per every one hundred grams of peanut butter, a little less than half a cup, there can be up to thirty fragments of insect and one or more rodent hairs. Now is it hypocritical that the FDA won't allow distribution of a cancer killing extract, shown to have more than a fifty percent success rate, but will allow carcinogenic rodent hair and bug bits to be mixed in with peanut butter?
Truth is FDA is a tuff position to hold, you can't approve everything and well people need to have their peanut butter. Beating cancer would be good too, but there is already chemo-therapy, and despite the horrible side effects and damage it causes on the body it still shows a seventy percent turn rate in lower degrees of cancer.
If you think that the FDA is a boring job, that just goes around with a big approved or disapproved stamp, my-oh-my, you are wrong. They actually raid companies regularly, the will bust into a company, terrorize the employees, seize whatever they want, and also tear phones out of the wall-it is true, even though it is totally unnecessary they will still rip the cord right from the wall.
Back in 1987 this is exactly what happened to the Life Extension Foundation, the problem was these criminals were selling vitamins that had not been tested by the FDA. Now, thankfully, the company founders have been indicted with more than twenty criminal charges, and for the last twenty three years the trial has been in court.
1992, Springville, Utah, at Nature's Way, a large primrose oil distributor, the FDA saved the day again. The seized truckloads of primrose oil on the base that vitamin E wasn't an approved additive to that specific substance.
Though vitamin E has never been shown to have any disadvantageous effects on the body and is, in fact, an essential nutrient, it is still nice that the FDA is going to prevent people from putting it into primrose oil. What would have happened if Nature's Way would have gotten away with adding that vitamin E?
