I don't believe you.
- darkwater 4y agoGP talked about ethical standards. Poisoning a few people for the "greater good" might be an acceptable thing depending on your standards.

- jounker 4y agoFrom looking around at the opposition to chemical industry regulations, it seems that knowingly poisoning people still isn’t considered wrong.
- galangalalgol 4y agoAlso look to the FDA "generally considered safe" statements for food additives. Some of them have loads of papers linking them to health problems of various sorts. But banning them would upset donors. I'm surprised trans fats were ever banned. I wonder if there is a deeper story there or if it just got too much publicity too fast to stop it. I wonder if erythritol will get cut too, that study needs some replication though I think?
