Ever wonder why almost all medicines have long lists of possible side effects (headache, stomache ache, diarrhea, etc.)?

It's because almost all 'clinical studies' are screwed up by people taking/testing other medicines simultaneously. There's a whole culture of "lab rat" patients who are trying to supplement their incomes by qualifying for multiple testing programs. So drug interactions (plus their other activities) throw all kinds of oddball symptoms into the mix. If the FDA required similar statements on H2O, you'd get some of the same list of "possible side effects."

There's also a phenomenon of these "lab rats" failing to mention some serious symptoms because it may result in them being taken off the study and losing that income...

So not only is the FDA testing process long and hard and costly, it's also far from perfect.

Exactly techweenie! That is what I am saying. Too many variables...

I've said it before..There is no such thing as absolute truth because there are no absolutes.
