[QUOTE="IWantToBreakFreett, post: 3056284, member: 145784"] You do realize where much of these 'billions' comes from right? It's not usually coming directly out of University budgets per se... but out of grants and funding programs with paper trail connections to the mega-million dollar pharmaceutical industry. It's not as if PhD chemists and biologist were funding these studies out of their own pocket in some altruistic manner. Not the case at all. Only that if you've followed the recent examples of what the FDA is interested in regulating and to some extent making illegal in terms of vitamins and health and fitness supplements... then you'd know that the FDA is not nearly as impartial as you're making them out to be. The issue has been gone over in some detail here in the H&F forums. It seems you view the FDA through very rose colored glasses. [/QUOTE]
