Hypocritical FDA Scolds Cheerios

for Cholesterol Assertion

                In this series of rants against the ultra-corrupt FDA (Food and Drug Administration), Rajjpuut’s premise is that since health care change is coming almost certainly this fall or winter . . . if there were only one improvement that could be made in the American health care mess, that would be to eliminate or totally revamp the FDA. Here we see the FDA at their very hypocritical worst . . . .

                The FDA, approver of the poisonous substances Ritalin and Celebrex which has refused to remove either one of those killer drugs from the market after FDA exaggerations of the two drugs' safety proved to be absolutely erroneous, has attacked cereal maker General Mills for revealing their scientific study showing Cheerios reduces cholesterol 4%.   “Only FDA approved drugs are allowed to make such claims,” is the official FDA lie, ‘er line, on the issue. General Mills, You believed our lies? Shame on you! We’ll bust you to private!   Has the FDA killed two million Americans yet?  Well they've certainly contributed to the maiming or killing of ten million.  Brings a sense of disgusted nausea and bile, no?

                Staying true to form, the FDA which is single-handedly most responsible for boosting iatrogenic deaths in America into 4^th place among all deaths (iatrogenic deaths are those caused by medicines and medical treatment) in the nation, fails to mention that the simple fact is this: less than 47% of those who die from heart attacks have elevated cholesterol. The 33 year old lie that high cholesterol brings heart attacks makes statins (cholesterol  lowering drugs) the most profitable of all the billion dollar drug bonanzas in American history for the huge pharmaceutical companies and has probably killed, maimed and injured more Americans than all of our war dead from all the wars in our history, while costing individuals and the government hundreds of billions of dollars for these expensive, dangerous drugs that cure nothing and arguably make strokes much more probable.

                The FDA, which has not shown the courage to attack big food or big drug companies for their improprieties; or to stand up to its sister in corruption the USDA, has however a proven track record for attacking health food stores and individual doctors who have the temerity to prescribe vitamins, minerals or other nutrients for some of their patients’ problems and the FDA now is attacking the most popular semi-healthy cereal in the nation. CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! It makes me so proud to be an American.

                In hypocrisy of the highest audacity, the FDA goes on to say, “. . . Companies that make claims about their whole grain foods are supposed to mention that fruits and vegetables are also part of a fiber-rich diet” which Cheerios does not.    Why are they doing this? Imagine if Cheerios improves its product some day and can say confidently after confirmation from say fifteen studies, “Cheerios reduces elevated cholesterol an average of 32% with a nine week period.” If that were to happen and the statement were true, than there would be clinical study information backing the idea that food can make you healthy: a claim that the FDA adamantly (but wrongly) refutes, repeatedly they have officially claimed:   “There has NEVER been a supplement or a food that has been proven to cure any disease" even though they're hypocritically demanding General Mills say what they've declared invalid that food can make you healthy, in this case fruits and vegetables.  What imbeciles!

Now you and I know that if the doctors find after a few days in the hospital that all your horrendous symptoms show that you have scurvy, they’re NOT going to start feeding you 16 oranges and citrus fruits every day. No, they will probably give you about twelve to fifteen times the RDA of Vitamin C tablets . . . but the FDA statement denies that, denies the experiences of Captain Cook and the epithet “limies” given to British sailors;  denies the Nobel Prize of Linus Pauling; and denies the recent Nobel Prize of Louis Ignarro. The FDA protects the food industry and its lies; the FDA protects the drug industry and its lies; the FDA ultra-protects itself and its own lies and ineptitudes . . . the FDA attacks those whose products have never been proven to do anybody any harm when used in proper dosage. The FDA is a major cause of America’s health problems and needs to step out of the way, change or blow themselves up.  The FDA, once a great agency created in response to Upton Sinclair's monumental novel expose` "The Jungle" in 1906 certainly will not protect the American people.

Ya’ll live long, strong and ornery,
