À propos de cet audio

 This engaging narrative explores the shocking conditions that led to the birth of the FDA in early 1900s America, told through the witty, informative voice of Dr. Ben Synth. The article vividly describes a time when medications contained cocaine and opiates, meat packers used formaldehyde to mask spoilage, and patent medicines made outlandish claims with zero scientific basis. It chronicles how muckraking journalism, scientific advocacy, and public outrage finally overcame political resistance, leading to landmark legislation that forever changed consumer protection in America. Dr. Ben's signature style—"smart but never smug, funny but never flippant"—makes this complex history both accessible and entertaining, complete with his characteristic asides about what he would do "if he had taste buds" or a liver.
