"Corrupt to the Core" paints a disturbing picture of the internal machinations of a government regulator bent on pleasing its drug company ‘clients’, often with scant concern for the public health implications. Dr. Shiv Chopra is one of three Health Canada scientists whose testimony before a Senate Committee in 1998 triggered headlines around the world. The scientists testified that Health Canada managers had pressured them to release suspect veterinary drugs into the food chain without the evidence of safety required by the Food and Drugs Act. One result of these revelations was the widespread rejection of bovine growth hormone (a drug which boosts the milk production of dairy cattle) in Europe, Canada and most developed countries – even though it had been already approved in the USA. In telling the story of his career, Chopra provides a detailed account of intrigue, manipulation and deception as Health Canada managers scramble to please drug companies – at the behest of their own political masters – by approving inadequately tested drugs. Dr. Shiv Chopra’s name has become synonymous with food safety. Dr. Chopra and some of his fellow scientists waged many battles over many years against a succession of Canadian federal ministries of health. Dr. Chopra and his colleagues refused to approve various harmful drugs to be used in meat and milk production. Time and again the federal courts supported Dr. Chopra and his fellow scientists and ruled against government attempts to shut them up. Also, time and again the government overruled. Here is the full account of how government corruption endangers the public food supply and how Dr. Chopra and his colleagues fearlessly continue to “to speak truth to power.” Here is also the story of how the elected representatives in both Canada and USA are more interested in protecting industrial profits and trade, instead of the public’s health. The stories told here for the first time include products like Revalor-H, Baytril, Bovine Growth Hormone, Silicon Breast Implants, and slaughterhouse waste to cause the biggest ruin of health safety—Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) or “mad-cow disease.” 200 pgs, 2009. |
