Protecting America's Health Author: Philip J. Hilts

ISBN: 9780807855829 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 424 Published: 12 September 2004 Country of Publication: US Dimensions (cm): 23.5 x 15.6 x 2.5 Description: In this history of the Food and Drug Administration, Philip J. Hilts analyzes the century-long, continuing struggle to establish scientific standards as the basis for policymaking on food and drugs. The agency, which emerged out of the era of the robber barons and Theodore Roosevelt's desire to "civilize capitalism," was created to stop the trade in adulterated meats and quack drugs. In addition to highlighting the essential role the FDA plays in making sure that food and drugs are safe and effective, "Protecting America's Health" shows that FDA regulation, far from stifling innovation--as critics feared--has actually accelerated it.
