Gardasil, Mandatory Vaccinations, And Health Freedom - What Can History Teach Us?

FDA Declares BPA Safe!

It looks like the plastics industry has gotten to the FDA - no surprise really, considering the amounts of money involved - and FDA commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach now assures us that he just can’t find any evidence of danger from bisphenol A — BPA — in plastic products such as baby bottles.
