Concerns Over Drug Safety and Quality
The podcast highlights alarming concerns regarding the safety and quality of generic drugs, particularly those manufactured in China and India. Evidence from independent testing shows that a significant percentage, about 13%, of these drugs contain contaminants such as carcinogens, arsenic, and lead, raising serious health risks for the U.S. population.
