Do You Trust the FDA and CDC?

Friday January 9, 2009
I thought you might be interested in a poll being conducted by Kristina Duda, the Guide to Cold and Flu. She writes, “The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) are two very important government agencies responsible for different aspects of public health. They regulate vaccines, food, medications and a host of other things that impact the health of the American people. However, there are a lot of people that feel these agencies are not necessarily operating in the best interest of all Americans.”

Many of us take handfuls of pills everyday so the work of these agencies directly impacts us. How do you feel? Do you trust the FDA and CDC? Or are you questioning their motives and efficacy?
