i think the f.d.a. has been aggressive about adopting that, particularly in cancer but other types as well. i think that's -- it's going to have to happen. as the approach has become more and more precision based, the groups of patients become smaller and smaller, doing large ran dmized trials is more and more difficult. therefore i think novel clinical trial design is going to be important for both the research effort like at n.i.h. and then also at the f.d.a. laurie. as a cancer researcher, what are you most excited about? there are advances on the horizon, i heard you say we've been get black cey about them. ned:s that speech i've given a couple of times. we just had the american society of clinical psychology they go to chicago and talk about cancer for a week. read the writing about it, it was down, there was not a big story. one year when i went we had fur different reg. s for lung caneser, none of which really worked, but one was less deadly, so we found a less deadly way to treat your cancer not

when the f.d.a. took jurisdiction over esignificance reside -- e-cigarettes in 2016, they gave them two years for a prema premarket order, saying they're allowing the marketing of the product would be appropriate for the public health. that same rule, the f.d.a. committed to getting the review done within a year at during which time the product would be marketed. so as supervisor wilson said, they could have submitted their premarketed authorization applications three years ago and if they before able -- would be able to make. then they would be sold under this ordinance. the trump administration suspended the rule giving the company until 2022 to even apply. in fact, they have been sued over that in federal court, in maryland, and judge has ordered that the f.d.a. is ignoring the law. the fact that the f.d.a. isn't doing their job is why this ordinance is even being considered right now. i think it's a brilliant move. i think it will force the f.d.a. to start acting and it will say to jewel, if you

in this case menu foods faced criticism for failing to notify the f.d.a. for over 3 weeks even after they confirm dogs and cats were dying and they knew the costs but other than complain about the ethics no one in a government position could find many foods for allowing the food to continue to be sold even though they knew animals would die as a result but many foods would not testify the lobby group that came in its tice was left to explain why man you know there has to make an animal think on it february 20th they didn't tell the f.d.a. 3 weeks earlier that let's get the record straight now the menu waited more than 3 weeks after finding out that the dogs wouldn't eat their food and were getting sick they waited 3 weeks i don't have the facts on menu senator i don't i think you read or you came to the hearing you would have the facts on the industry side they were still maintaining that they were highly regulated though the evidence exposed by the recall appeared to confirm the fear that the industry wasn't regulated very much pet foods are indeed a high

anything that has ever been reported in the f.d.a. did step down and there's never been any contaminants on a link to any of the donut that's what it was crystal clear that the products were not coming off the shelves any time soon. rachel chambers of morgan hill lost her dog cali yesterday morning she says it was a sudden and painful death that found that she died after her stomach twisted and ruptured but it remains undetermined what caused that to happen according to the f.d.a. nearly $1000.00 owners have complained about this product despite the f.d.a. warnings that are still on shelves at target walmart cosco and pet smart and it's somewhat frustrating because. we haven't been able to find a problem with the product we say yes there are certain animals we believe are strong evidence and so share with that but we don't look at the product and we've tested for numerous things and we haven't been able to find anything that would suggest that this product right here there's a problem with sometimes toxic ingredients are a combination

federal law if you go to the f.d.a. website and just type in compliance policies and then scroll down the page to hand feed and and there's one after another they allow contamination bypass to sads contamination by industrial chemicals contamination bad natural toxins contamination filth micro biological contamination over tolerance for permanent drug residues. it's incredible. the law says that can be but the compliance policy says don't worry go ahead. enforce. for all practical purposes there's nobody looking out for the average guy in 2006 mystery illness began to sicken thousands of pets across the united states and canada thrusting the industry into the spotlight like never before. ok everyone is so freaked out about this recall tell us what do people need to know about this recall so it's menu food menu foods menu foods menu foods on any food on march 16th 2007 many foods began recalling dog foods produced in their facilities in kansas and new jersey what disturbs me about this incident is that it confirms yet ag

national studies by the f.d.a. show that -- and not from traditional retailers that train employees to follow the law. enacting this proposal will promote illegal illicit markets for these products. perhaps we should ask ourselves who would be more likely to check i.d.s of a young people? a business with 16 locations in the city or something selling products out of a truck or the back of a car. this proposal rejects harm reduction and is contrary to the city's reduction of health issues. in closing, we ask you to not appro approve proposal as is. thank you for your consideration. >> clerk: next speaker, please. >> my name is -- [inaudible] >> i would like to oppose ban o of -- support ban of e-cigarette. the risk of e-cigarette and combustible cigarette are similar. that's why we cannot recommend the e-cigarette for harm reduction and cessation devices. so we just published scientific advanced student report. basically, it is associated with heart disease among all americans, so i want to submit this evidence for t

the f.d.a. had never approved a genetically-engineered animal as food before, and so it took them tw.decades to make a decisi and there was stiff opposition; protesters sent nearly two million comments to the f.d.a. and nearly 80 retailers vowed not to sell it. despite the concerns, in 2015, thtf.d.a. approved aquadvanage salmon, saying the product is "safe to eat," "has no significant impact on the environment," and it found "no biologically relevantet differences"en g.e. salmon and other farm-raised salmon. the next year, the canadiannt governave the salmon its stamp of approval, and aquabounty hit the market there first, since selling a modest 20,000 pounds of its product. canadian opponents remain outraged. >> do we have the right to manipulate the d.n.a. of another living being? and... and i don't agree that that's something that humans should be able to do. >> reporter: sharon labchuk, of rtthe environmental group action, has helped lead the fight against g.e. salmon in canada for decades.

hasn't yet regulated it so it's a it's a big issue in san francisco is pushing to the f.d.a. to try to make it to come to a decision well regulations good thing i mean i confess i'm a lifelong smoke i've recently switched to one of those easy grits and they've helped me is nearly totally stay away from cigarettes which are clearly very harmful and common sense says they're not just for you for other people as well yes exactly but if i was living in san fran. this core of berlin decided to ban the sale of products i. would probably force to go back to cigarettes it would it would make it easier to go back to cigarettes why ban it well that's what critics that's what critics of this of this legislation are saying they're saying it's going to force people who are addicted to nicotine to go back to cigarettes but really this is no more no less than kind of a shot across the bows of the industry and as i said of the of the food and drug administration in the united states which has to come up with regulations for how these things work they have not yet done that there are markets

and vietnam this new f.d.a. will almost completely eliminate tariffs all customs duties across 2 blocks and i'm looking here it's about 65 percent of those duties on e.u. exports to vietnam will be eliminated now the deal that vietnam has with hong kong which is where a lot of us see and china mainland china treat occurs see 75 percent of those terrorists removed plus a further reduction of about 10 percent within the next 14 years so it's a very tight race between the 2 types of deals it's this this will also represent how where we vietnam is of chinese investment venturing out of the chinese comfort zone and this deal also not to mention is going to bring vietnam as the 2nd largest trading partner just behind singapore we also mention that it's going to tackle poverty and child labor how how will it do that well the deal promises to implement standards by the international labor organization which of course will include banning child labor so it being a requirement we're pretty sure that the f.d.a. will see th

legal requirements and framework said it's not f.d.a. is responsibility to do such studies the research has not been done on raw foods not because there is an interest but because the $1000000.00 it takes to fund that particular research simply isn't there now integrated veterinarians are working on that but trisha veterinarians will say and tell we see the research we're not interested in recommending this particular food for dog and cat owners we just don't believe it's safe and healthy the frustration is is that we don't have clinically proven research demonstrating that dry and canned foods are wildly healthier for pets as well. the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research since major pet food companies are involved with and have influence over vet student lack of education surrounding world diet exist heavily among traditional that when science come to veterinarians have who have not bee

we know the f.d.a. is taking a look at this, and knowing that supervisor fewer will be working with supervisor walton on the impacts to small business is something that i care about. but i just want to acknowledge the mom from district 2 that came up. i'm a mom, too, and i know everything that you're feeling, everything that's being talked about in the parent community and our schools, and it is a concern. i just want you to know that you have been heard, and i think that a lot of parents have raised these same concerns, so just thank you to everyone who came out, and with that, i will hand it back over. >> supervisor mandelman: supervisor walton, i would lwo like to make a motion to forward this to the full board with a positive recommendation? >> supervisor walton: i would like to make a motion to move this to the full board with a positive recommendation. >> supervisor mandelman: and then, i would like to rescind item 4. there was some back and forth but it was pointed out by our counsel that the 27t

and at the f.d.a. and now serves of the director of regulatory and external affairs of dupont corporation's agricultural enterprise you can also look at someone like clinton uter who is also at the u.s.d.a. and was a u.s. trade representative and he's on the board of my kitchen which is a wholly owned subsidiary of dow chemical but perhaps one of the most egregious ones is michael taylor who was appointed by the obama administration prior to joining as deputy director of foods at the f.d.a. he was actually the head of science policy for months anto and the list goes on you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies i mean this kind of collusion is reprehensible and it's amazing that the legal infrastructure even allow. the e.p.a. won't bancorp pyra fox reversing efforts by the obama administration the c.e.o. of dow chemical the maker of the past aside here with the president applauded the decision company saying it is confi
