Yeah, it's tricky because on one hand, we believe in the First Amendment. And on the other hand, we don't, as an FDA, we don't want a company to misrepresent their product to the public. I mean, the process that they go through to get approved by the FDA includes a part where they have to show what their claims are to the public. And are they creating a notion

That if you just take our drug, you're going to be singing and dancing and playing the banjo and on jet skis and, you know, nonstop. I mean, I watch these things are so convincing. Yes. You know, I don't even know what the drug is for sometimes. And I'll be like, OK, I'll take it. I give up. I give up. I'll take it.

So pharma and industry had people as members of our FDA advisory committees. In other words, some of the FDA advisor, almost all the FDA advisory committees had a pharma or industry employee as a member of the FDA advisory committees. One of the first things I did is I removed all industry and pharma members of FDA advisory committees wherever statutorily possible.

We have to have a scientific process that's impeccably independent. At the same time, we can partner with America's pharma developers and inventors and create a user-friendly process for them, streamline the process. One of our goals is to deliver more cures for the American public, and there's amazing stuff now for neurodegenerative diseases, for diabetes.

I mean, the stuff that I see, it's an amazing privilege at the FDA to see what's in the pipeline. We, you know, our goal is very simple. We want to use gold standard science and common sense to bring more cures for the American public and meaningful treatments. Yes. And healthier food for children. And so you saw we banned or we went ahead with the removal action on the petroleum based food dyes.

So we took that bold step. It's incredibly popular. What do those food dyes do to people? Why remove them? There's obviously a reason. There have been some studies suggesting that they affect the behavior of children.

There are many parents who have said that when they eliminated, in sort of an elimination diet, these artificial petroleum-based food dyes, there's nine of them in the United States, when they eliminate them, the kids' behavior improves. And when they're reintroduced, then the kid's behavior gets worse again. So those are data points. They're not randomized controlled trials.
