FDA regulates information presented to the public based on accuracy and understandability.
FDA regulates information presented to the public based on accuracy and understandability.
In practice, the [[pharmaceutical]] industry influences the FDA and distorts its policies in several powerful ways. The pharmaceutical industry will offer higher paying jobs to preferred FDA employees and consultants. Conflicts of interest by persons in advisory positions to the FDA have been rampant. Politics can also influence regulations ostensibly made by the FDA. For example, in 2009 under the Obama administration, the FDA approved a birth control pill to be given to 17 year-olds without parental consent.
