 Vidyya Medical News Service   - Today in Vidyya   
Chief chemist Harvey W. Wiley, M.D., considered by many to be the founding father of the FDA, spearheaded the effort to separate scientific facts on food safety from the recurrent food safety scares that had fast become the subject of growing public mistrust, inflammatory publications, and Congressional hearings.
Wiley hoped to learn "whether preservatives should ever be used or not, and if so, what preservatives and in what quantities." Ultimately, if Wiley could prove from his studies that food adulteration went beyond flagrant cheating to obvious harm, then both the public and Congress would likely support a national policy.
Wiley was convinced that any kind of regulation would have to treat all preservatives alike--ruling out discrimination between food chemicals according to their risks and benefits.

Wiley and his colleagues at the Department of Agriculture, displaying a near-religious zeal for preserving the sanctity of their science, quickly tried to suppress the levity of Brown’s coverage by closing all official avenues of communication to the press.
Although Wiley made a number of public pronouncements in favor of regulating the trade and consumption of pharmaceuticals during the period in question, nevertheless, for the sake of brevity, food is the aim of this study.

 Pure Food and Drug Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United States Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 provided for federal inspection of meat products, and forbade the manufacture, sale, or transport of adulterated food products or poisonous patent medicines.
The Act arose due to public education and propaganda from people such as Upton Sinclair (author), Harvey W. Wiley (researcher), President Theodore Roosevelt and Samuel Hopkins Adams (author).
As is common of laws regulating business, the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 was as much an attempt by businesses to improve revenue as it was the product of a public outcry against fraudulent practices.

In 1902 Dr. Harvey W. Wiley (third from the left), chief chemist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the "human catalyst" who helped coordinate the national campaign for pure food and drugs, started research with human volunteers, officially designated the "Hygienic Table," to determine the effects of food preservatives on digestion and health.
Wiley's research showed that such additives as borax, salicylic acid, and formaldehyde were harmful.
He became convinced that chemical preservatives should be used in food only when necessary, that the burden of proving safety should fall on the producer, and that none should be used without informing the consumer on the label-basic principles of today's law and regulations.

Following the "embalmed beef" scandal of the Spanish-American War in 1898 (this concerned the quality of food supplied to U.S. troops), Charles Edward Russell produced a series of articles exposing the greed and corruption of the Beef Trust.

Wiley's efforts to expose harmful food and drug additives and correct US food adulteration helped capture public attention and spur indignation.
The alliance between Dr. Wiley, muckraking journalists, health professionals, women's organizations and others proved instrumental in passage of the Pure Food and Drugs Act (1906), which led to the creation of the Food and Drug Administration, and the Meat Inspection Act, which was passed the same day.
In 1911, allegations of irregularities in his department and efforts to have Dr. Wiley dismissed proved unsuccessful.While he was exonerated of all charges, Dr. Wiley resigned in 1912.He continued to promote pure food through his lectures and writing.

 Notes on Experiments
Yes, there is a battle going on between those who are trying to promote better nutrition, and the food manufacturers who insist on making products "worse so that they can be sold for less," thereby eliminating the competition of more honest and self-respecting producers who would prefer to apply in business the Golden Rule.
These commercial interests have the United States Government on their side, ever since they ousted Dr. Harvey W. Wiley from his job as head of the Food and Drug Administration in 1912.
Truly, as Dr. Wiley sadly remarked in his book The History of a Crime Against the Pure Food Law (1930) the makers of unfit foods have taken possession of Food and Drug enforcement, and have reversed the effect of the law, protecting the criminals that adulterate foods, instead of protecting the public health.

A major step forward in the control of opiate addiction was taken in 1906 when Congress passed the first Pure Food and Drug Act despite opposition from the patent-medicine interests.
The pressures to pass the act were intense-generated by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley and his crusading journalistic followers, notably Samuel Hopkins Adams,' who were known as "muckrakers."
The 1906 act required that medicines containing opiates and certain other drugs must say so on their labels.2 Later amendments to the act also required that the quantity of each drug be truly stated on the label, and that the drugs meet official standards of identity and purity.
