Dealing with the health of people is more important than political considerations.

We need to take politics out of health care. Congress will cave to pretty much any special interest on the subject.

The belief that public health measures are not intended for people like us is widely held by many people like me. Public health, we assume, is for people with less - less education, less-healthy habits, less access to quality health care, less time and money.

We should be concerned not only about the health of individual patients, but also the health of our entire society.

In the long run, the public interest depends on private virtue.

The FDA serves a real purpose: To protect public health.

As a physician specializing in nutrition, my priority is to the health of the public.

What public health really is is a trust. That's why I used the term 'Betrayal of Trust' as the title of my book. It's a trust between the government and the people.

I think FDA's concerns are patient-safety.
