I donno at this point I'm doubting everything coming from the US. Maybe they work as advertised maybe they give you rectal cancer.

FDA and other things like USDA aren't trustworthy under the orange man. With all the cuts it's a matter of time before we have another thalidomide released to pregnant ladies or mad cow outbreak in the beef supply.

They aren't going to learn over there. They onlylet Thier folks suffer over in the US and try to milk them for Thier labour and never earnings

Tend to agree. The FDA seems to have been too easily influenced by business interests in recent years. Until now FDA approval was like a gold standard in safety but I think I trust the EU to make these kinds of decisions now. In general the EU now seems to be first to ban chemicals on the basis of safety. It's possible they are overly strict but I prefer too strict over too lax when it comes to things like this.
