They wouldn't have let me in a room with the FDA for the entire time I've been working in food and health.
He is so smart and good hearted.
So my first question on stage.
So, Marty, when you're done here at the FDA, which big pharma company are you going to go to work for?
And he just laughed.
He's like, I'm a surgeon.
Like I've never worked for those guys.
And I took an oath that I won't.
And we talked about rapid change to put things on the right track around restoring the rightful place of biological hormone replacement therapy for women to reduce suffering and all cause mortality.
And they just did it for men as well.
So I do think the leadership at the FDA has some really powerful, beneficial things we can do, especially around regulating chemicals in food.
That's necessary, because if you don't have that, you get what's going on at the EPA.
Oh yeah, glyphosate, like let's put it in our shampoo.
Like that stuff is insane, what they're doing with glyphosate.
I don't want big companies to run rampant, but I don't want companies to run the FDA and use it to enforce monopolies.
And that's what's been happening.
I have been pounding the anti glyphosate drum forever.
In fact, all the counties that spray the most glyphosate have higher cancer rates.
It's very clear what it does to our collagen.
And it's just it's bad news for humans and bad news for the environment.
