Question 1

is somnapure fda approved?

Accepted Answer

Somnapure: Somnapure is a nutritional supplement and therefore not regulated by the fda.

Question 2

is guggul regulated by the fda?

Accepted Answer

No: Listed as a food supplement, many herbal products are not regulated by the fda.

Question 3

why is ivabradine not fda approved?

Accepted Answer

Ivabradine: From what i can find, the cost to the company making it in france to get it approved in the us would not be worth the investment for them so what i've read doubts it will be presented with appropriate data to the fda to consider.

Question 4

could the fda allow bugs in our food?

Accepted Answer

Unclear: I'm not clear on your question. The FDA does not allow pathogens or bugs in the food supply. However, there are so few food inspectors that they can't inspect everything. So, yes, it is possible that "bugs" get into the food. The FDA was created in the early 20th century because real live bugs would be in the meat supply - read "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair.

Question 5

does the fda classify a coconut as a nut?

Accepted Answer

It does, it is WRONG: Like many government agencies, the FDA makes mistakes. It does classify coconuts as a "tree nut" but it's wrong. No botanist would agree that coconuts are true nuts. See http://www.fda.gov/ForIndustry/FDABasicsforIndustry/ucm238807.htm for the FDA's classification.
See http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/coconut.html 
for the Library of Congress's discussion of why coconuts are drupes,a fruit!

Question 6

why did the fda reject bpa ban? lobbyists?

Accepted Answer

Not enough evidence: Use of bpa and human exposure is so very low that it is impossible to determine extent or risk at this point in time.  Studies completed are not conclusive enough to demand withdrawal.  Nothing to do with lobbyists in my opinion.  Studies show micro doses are metabolized and excreted from the body very quickly, limiting potential damage.

Question 7

does fda publish information on drug safety?

Accepted Answer

All the time: Yes, all the time. So does the cdc, the nih, and even the dea. Plus the manufacturers themselves are fairly exacting in their discussion of safety and side effects.
