    While in general FDA has done a good job, diabetic persons have been very poorly served by it. I make this comment because, for reasons that have never been properly probed, FDA banned Sacchrine sale by labelling it cancer prone.

FDA was manipulated by drug companies and has taken no public action to make it more difficult to manipulate. Otherwise it does a good job.
