That's just the latest in a long, long line of things, unfortunately. It's disgusting.

When my foot was broken this spring, could I find fresh, raw comfrey? You know, known to be effective for bone healing for hundreds of years? No, because back in the 80s some fool -- just one -- ate some insane amount of it and got liver failure for his troubles.

There can be literally tens of thousands who die from a given pharmaceutical and the worst that happens is the product is given a black box warning. But safe, effective, and non-patentable? BAN IT.

Honestly, even for all our vaunted healthcare, in this particular regard many other countries are better off than we are in the US. It's infuriating.

I've heard of people dying from drinking too much water, I think the FDA should investigate

The only thing the FDA is concerned with protecting is Big Pharma's profits.

100% of drug overdose victims have water present in their system at the time of death.
