I've read some info to this effect. Even pharmecuetical tests in behalf of the FDA are often slanted towards pharmecuetical drugs.
They've attempt this with Vitamin E. already- The FDA stated that Vitamin E is toxic in "tests" they directed. What they didn't get out was that these tests were done on SYNTHETIC vitamin E which is definitely toxic- whereas natural vitamin E tocopherols are safe and necessary.
See, the public never gets the FULL story-- only what they want us to hear.
