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.
