Liberal fear of diseases and trust in science. A totalitarian's dream.
"Each year, use of NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) accounts for an estimated 7,600 deaths and 76,000 hospitalizations in the United States." (NSAIDs include aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, ketoprofen, and tiaprofenic acid.)"

This is the same FDA that is currently pushing regulations that will disallow the shipping across state lines of any natural supplement about which there has EVER been a study showing its effectiveness.
"If the FDA determines that Section 301 applies to dietary supplements, ... [i]t would create a 'Catch 22' situation in which supplement producers who undertake scientific research on new supplements will find that their very research will lead to a ban on the proposed supplement. This is totally senseless. This is too senseless even for the FDA," said Gretchen DuBeau, AAHF Executive Director.
Dr Robert Verkerk, executive and scientific director of the ANH emphasized:
"Unlike Section 201 of the FDCA, the proposed new Section 301 of the FDA Amendments Act doesn't just limit the ban to supplements that have been subject to drug applications, it applies a ban to some of the best researched and most useful supplements and ingredients on the market today. This is clearly nonsensical and if enforced, would represent one of the most severe restrictions seen in any country at any time."
"There will be no shortage of big corporations that will exploit this situation to their benefit unless the scope of Section 301 is both clarified and narrowed",commented Gretchen DuBeau, "one such company is already trying to use it to ban the natural zero-caloric sweetener stevia, given that stevia has been subject to scientific research and has been a thorn in the side of the sugar and artificial sweetener giants for years."

And to get really down and dirty for liberals who have their identities bound up in being educated and modern and "scientific," they need to look at how science is being manipulated in a truly life and death way. Recently, the NCI just did in a study on vitamin E and selenium for treating prostate cancer, something that the alternative health people now value. The NCI started the study then halted it out of concern for patients, saying that vitamin E and selenium were not effective. But what they didn't say is that they used a coal tar-based vitamin E. Instead, they did a very professional scientific debunking of the use of natural substances to cure cancers, all the while knowing in advance that they had used a synthetic vitamin E that had NO anti-oxidant value whatever. They used tar. They then reported to doctors the vitamin E is worthless. Or perhaps they thought the synthetic was just as good, not knowing anything about antioxidants?

The attacks on vitamin C and Linus Pauling were equally egregious, but with this one enters the territory of unfathomable immorality when one considers the lives that were lost and the pain that was suffered and that both are continuing, all based on corporately-biased (and purchased) lying science.

The fear of disease and the risk-aversion of the liberals has left them vulnerable to these astounding manipulations by corporations and there is one coming at all of us that most liberals have never heard of and yet farmers have known about it and feared it for years -Codex Alimentarius.
Which brings me after a terribly long introduction to the FDA just approving stevia.
Hurrah. Maybe.
Just to give a little background to this news.
Under the Clintons, the FDA was run by Monsanto employees they had appointed. That Monsanto FDA approved Monsanto's Aspartame for use as a sugar substitute despite strong evidence of brain damage and other diseases.

At the same time, the Clinton's Monsanto FDA also kept synthetic Aspartame's competition, all-natural stevia, out of US, though more than 900 studies indicated NO problems WHATSOEVER.
