The FDA's role in consumer protection has been called into question, with critics arguing that it prioritizes the interests of large pharmaceutical companies over public safety. An exposé reveals how the FDA has dismissed Valisure's findings and hindered their efforts to expose pharmaceutical misconduct. Allowing Big Pharma to self-regulate product safety is seen as dangerously flawed, reminiscent of the FAA's failed self-regulation policies with Boeing, which led to serious consequences.
@@r3dp1ll The fact you're responding to a bot and didn't realize it calls into question your ability to discern fact from fiction, regardless of how wrong whatever you're trying to suggest yourself obviously is lol.
Exactly. Our government is NOT there to protect us; our government is there to protect the interests of corporations, banks, big pharma and a host of others.
The FDA and the pharmaceutical companies cannot simply dismiss Valisure's claims - let them prove with data that the allegations are without basis . Ref benzene what is the safe threshold level if there is one .
Same thing goes for the EPA and chemicals leaked into water supplies. The chemical manufacturers are allowed to tell the EPA whether it is save or not. Just like Boeing!
Yeah, but you should not have to get cancer because of brushing your teeth or washing your hands. People that produce products must have their products tested frequently and held accountable for poisoning people.
The problem with our modern form of capitalism is that it’s played as a smash and grab. It’s not about doing things as well as possible. It’s about getting away with whatever is most profitable.
My late mother took Zantac successfully for a long time, and did not contract cancer. However, Pepcid was catastrophic for her health. Relabeling one as the other is *dangerous*!
Another way to fight cancer - perhaps this should get more funding globally... Multiple tests of every product out there per year is probably what is required.
We need reform, not abolishment. The FDA has been hamstrung by corporate capture, lobbying, and deregulations. The FDA is failing specifically because they lost the power to do their job. Same with the EPA and FAA. We need their oversight but our capitalist government has systematically inacted laws and legislations with the specific purpose of dismantling these oversight groups because they want the public to demand they be abolished. But if you notice, neither you nor others calling for their end say anything about who would replace the FDA, EPA, or FAA. This is exactly what corporate capitalists want: ZERO oversight and they want to blame you for it through plausible deniability.
@4:53 The amount of benzene in sunscreen is too little to have any significant effect on your health. Now I know I don't need to listen to anything written by this reporter thanks
People are being exposed frequently over large areas of the body from childhood. Cancer rates among young people are increasing at an alarming rate. "Benzene affects the blood-forming system at low levels of occupational exposure, and *there is no evidence of a threshold. There is probably no safe level of exposure to benzene,* and all exposures constitute some risk in a linear, if not supralinear, and additive fashion." - from review article 'Advances in understanding benzene health effects and susceptibility'
My question is, are the chemicals in question actually bad for people or are they merely "known in the state of California" to be bad? edit: never mind. After watching the video, it's the latter. sensationalism at its' finest.
You're forgetting to blame the lobbyists, capitalist corporations, and Trump for their role in deregulation. The FDA, EPA, and FAA were taken over by the installment of corporate leaders and politicians with a financial stake in the very industries that these organizations were created to monitor. This is further proven by whistle-blowers within these organizations that detail exactly how they are being forced to hide or alter data in order to benefit corporations.
'scummy lawyers' who get victims / victims' families money to cover their medical expenses and restitution for their pain and suffering. 'Scummy lawyers' are really the only people keeping you (somewhat) safe from being poisoned. That said, I would prefer it if the scummy people making these dangerous products would face criminal prosecution for their crimes.

Maybe some part of the credits go to the consultant agency like McKinsey which serve both FDA and the big pharma.
US gov is SO corrupt
Just look at the C. jab ...
The EPA, too! They allow chemical manufacturers to self-report chemical safety guidelines.

Useless agency made to protect the US gov and slow down progress
It's called _regulatory capture_ and it is well-known thing.
@@GodKing804Underfunded and understaffed agency made to protect the consumers
The fda is not a real thing. It’s just a mob front
It is alarming to realize that companies continue to disregard our safety, as has often been the case.
Great job & reporting!

The vocal fry is intense with this one. 💀💀💀 🤮🤮🤮
How is the FDA not being investigated???? 🤬🤬🤬

you'd think it would be cheaper to just send your stuff to independent testing
Great report and hope their work continues. I can't imagine what goes on with the unregulated supplement market.
I actually given up on humanity long before covid

FDA should take a hard look at itself.
Thank you for the story this is so far beyond messed up and they know it's and now we know it's and now it's time for it to go
He is doing gods work
Im amazed how this big and important agencies given up on humanity.. FAA and FDA shame on u

I’m glad that lab is around
Seemed more like an infomercial for Valasure or whatever.
I sold many many Zantacs. 🤮👿
Hypocritical
Operation paper clip!
😮

Abolish the FDA.

Have you done clinical testing and how have you determined the threshold limit ?
What she is referring to and was probably told by the manufacturers that benzene meets the regulations limit.
@@xcel5203these are determined by the EPA in the US under TSCA and REACH in the EU
@@xcel5203 PhD chemistry Lab Muffin did a pretty accessible explainer on this with proper citations with peer reviewed studies.

Imagine shilling for Valisure are yall running out of content or what
This is not noble. Just fuel for scummy lawyers whether its ranitidine or talc powder. These people are not heroes.

I'm guessing you work for Sanofi, GSK, the FDA or someone like that. Or perhaps you are just a stockholder.
And you fancy yourself a hero for this comment?
