Re: Correction about SYNTHROID

[Guest guest]

That is so sad.. to have had something that bad on the market for so many

years WITHOUT FDA approval.. until recently.... It was FDA that they just

recently had to pass, isn't it?

They never should have passed it.. they should have shut the stuff

down... Then docs wouldn't have this 'one size fits all' , 'take one tab

in the morning' , 'no big deal you'll be perfectly fine', mentality.

In my PERSONAL opinion.

Was it in the 1930's...? I know that it came about partly because of

Upton Sinclair's " The Jungle " (great book!).

Hi, Debbie,

Here is a link to the History of the Food and Drug Administration.

http://www.fda.gov/oc/history/historyoffda/default.htm

The history dates back to 1901 with the Department of Chemistry....
