Very good info.

No wonder why so many Americans need ambien and all these other sleep medications.

I dont drink those things but understand consuming them mid-day can leave you still amped at midnight and beyond................which means you wake up tired again, drink another and start the cycle all over again.????

Half a cup of coffee in the morning is all I need to take off that edge.

And for the FDA, doesnt surprise me. Once you understand how the FDA really works you see it is comprised of ex-industry executives that regulate these things in favor of industry.

Just like they have known for 16 years that benzene derrivatives in certain sodas cause cancer and havent done anything about it. They all share the same bed. Everyone in the FDA seems to be influenced by power, money or political favors.

Foreign nations do a much better job at protecting their citizens which is exactly the reason they have said no to this issue you are talking about and Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone in the dairy industry, which Canada and the E.U. both said NO WAY because they read the "rat report", or test results on this substance and the multitude of diseases and cancers it causes, yet millions of Americans are unknowningly consuming this in their milk. Thats the FDA for ya, bought off by the corporate powerhouse, Monsanto.

Good article though.
