Ah the board that controls what constitutes Ok in food production and distribution and advertising and what is Ok when it comes to alcohol and tobacco.

I heard that in America that most of the big tobacco and liquor barons lobby agencies to gain favour and have their way and what they can't get through such agencies directly they get by hefty donations through political parties for favourable concessions. From this understanding laws are bent if not broken and the agency loses its teeth or effect?

Truth in that? Just what I heard. Sounded about right, knowing what little i do of human nature and its fraility when political power is thrown in the mix.
Alcohol and tobacco are controlled by the BATFE.

 And so are the firearms I've come to love so dearly!   :litigious:

Depends on the country what medication is allowed and considered safe. Who makes the guidelines, why are they the way they are, and who benefits from the guidelines as they are.
This reminds me of what I found out about the antidepressant I take. Edronax (reboxetine) is not approved in the US but it is here. Usually it is the other way around. There are a number of medications for ADHD (three that I know of) that are available in the US but are not approved for use here.

Yup. Just checked on Edronax, available in Belgium, but, a quick glance seemed to show that it is not available in the Netherlands.
We don't have the amount of ADHD meds they have in the USA either.

My gut reaction was "Eli Lilly".

Then I thought about it and my answer now is... "Eli Lilly".

YUK.

European regulations are restricting all kinds of products that have been around for centuries for similar reasons.
