As evidence continues to emerge about the correlation between antidepressant drugs and violent behavior, including suicides, new facts are emerging about how the FDA has attempted to cover up this information and prevent the public from learning about it. There's new scrutiny these days as we are learning that the FDA attempted to block an employee from revealing his findings of the correlation between antidepressants and suicidal tendencies. That occurred in February of 2004. Even beyond that, the FDA has worked in many ways to delay taking action on this issue. Instead of declaring that antidepressant drugs are dangerous and removing them from the market, they have kicked the issue to outside agencies in a thinly-veiled effort to delay action while "seeking outside independent analysis" of the clinical trial data. Pharmaceutical companies, for their part, also hid this information from the FDA for many years. As we know now, pharmaceutical companies can conduct any number clinical trials, and then pick and choose which trial results they want to forward to the FDA.

So we have a two-stage cover up that is now beginning to unfold. First, we have the pharmaceutical companies, the makers of antidepressant drugs, who are covering up the negative clinical data by burying it and refusing to forward it to the FDA, and then, in stage two, we have the FDA attempting to make sure the public doesn't find out about these links by pressuring staffers who have conducted reviews of the clinical data and were about to step forward and warn the public about these horrifying links between prescription drugs and violent behavior.

In any other industry, this would be considered criminal activity. It would immediately be investigated by the FBI or perhaps the GAO. There would be national headlines and congressional investigations. People would go to jail for this kind of activity, especially when it involves compromising the health of tens of millions of Americans. And yet, somehow, amazingly, all of this gets overlooked in today's political climate, where pharmaceutical drugs are assumed to be perfectly safe regardless of how many people are killed by them.

The pharmaceutical industry, in cooperation with the FDA, is committing chemical genocide on the United States population. It is manufacturing drugs that harm and actually kill millions of people each year around the world. It is distorting the science on those drugs, it is intentionally concealing information that might show those drugs to be dangerous, and it is doing all of this for nothing more than pure greed. I have no doubt that as the truth about antidepressant drugs finally sees the light of day, the American public is going to be horrified by what they find. Antidepressants are fraudulently conceived, fraudulently marketed, and have absolutely no place in the life of a healthy human being.

About the author:Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com) and a globally recognized scientific researcher in clean foods. He serves as the founding editor of NaturalNews.com and the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation. Adams is also highly proficient in running liquid chromatography, ion chromatography and mass spectrometry time-of-flight analytical instrumentation.

Adams is a person of color whose ancestors include Africans and Native American Indians. He's also of Native American heritage, which he credits as inspiring his "Health Ranger" passion for protecting life and nature against the destruction caused by chemicals, heavy metals and other forms of pollution.

Adams is the founder and publisher of the open source science journal Natural Science Journal, the author of numerous peer-reviewed science papers published by the journal, and the author of the world's first book that published ICP-MS heavy metals analysis results for foods, dietary supplements, pet food, spices and fast food. The book is entitled Food Forensics and is published by BenBella Books.

In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.

In addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition. Through the non-profit CWC, Adams also launched Nutrition Rescue, a program that donates essential vitamins to people in need. Click here to see some of the CWC success stories.

With a background in science and software technology, Adams is the original founder of the email newsletter technology company known as Arial Software. Using his technical experience combined with his love for natural health, Adams developed and deployed the content management system currently driving NaturalNews.com. He also engineered the high-level statistical algorithms that power SCIENCE.naturalnews.com, a massive research resource featuring over 10 million scientific studies.

Adams is well known for his incredibly popular consumer activism video blowing the lid on fake blueberries used throughout the food supply. He has also exposed "strange fibers" found in Chicken McNuggets, fake academic credentials of so-called health "gurus," dangerous "detox" products imported as battery acid and sold for oral consumption, fake acai berry scams, the California raw milk raids, the vaccine research fraud revealed by industry whistleblowers and many other topics.

Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.

In addition to his activism, Adams is an accomplished musician who has released over a dozen popular songs covering a variety of activism topics.
