The two faces of the FDA strike again – and this time, millions of American children are at risk.
Face Number One pretends it's worried sick over reports of weight gain, diabetes and metabolic syndrome in kids forced to swallow atypical antipsychotic drugs. Many of these dangerous drugs were never approved for use in children – but have been prescribed for them off-label.
