FDA Falls Short - ft. Maricel Maffini

We make a lot of assumptions about authority figures throughout our life: teachers know the answers to all of our questions, our parents actually care when we show them a trick in the swimming pool, and the landlord aims to make rent reasonable for the property. Of course, we all come to the distressing realization that none of those are true. One of those unfortunate truths is that the FDA does not successfully protect us from harmful chemicals being added to our food. In this episode of A Daily Dose, Mr. Maricel Maffini explains how loopholes and outdated legislation have led to the unregulated use of thousands of potentially harmful food additives.
