They told you the FDA was created to protect you. The truth? It was corrupt from the very beginning. The so-called “Poison Squad” was America’s first test group—and it exposed just how rotten the system was. This is the untold story of how the FDA sold you out. In the early 1900s, America’s food supply was a toxic gamble, formaldehyde in milk, arsenic in candy, and borax in meat. No labels. No safety checks. No laws. Then, one government chemist, Dr. Harvey Wiley, recruited twelve men to risk their health eating poisoned meals to prove the danger. Their fight led to the creation of the FDA, an agency meant to protect the public, but now accused of protecting corporate interests instead. From embalmed beef to Big Pharma boardrooms, this is the shocking story of how the FDA was born in sacrifice… and how it lost its way. Written and hosted by Mike Droberg. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production. #PoisonSquad #FDAExposed #FoodIndustrySecrets ==============================
