There was a contaminated batch of L-Tryptophan that came from Japan that caused two deaths. The FDA rushed in and banned L-Tryptophan for human use (except as an additive in baby food... let that sink in for a bit). The cause -was- known at the time and even with that knowledge the FDA still banned it.

A few days later, Prozac made the cover of Time Magazine.

Prozac was also directly attributed to over a dozen deaths during clinical trials but was still allowed on the market.


In the early 90's, a treatment for the very condition that the contaminated L-Tryptophan was banned for was patented... The treatment used L-Tryptophan to treat it.

In the 80's, the FDA was controlled by individuals installed during the Reagan administration by Donald Rumsfeld, then president and CEO of GD Searle, the company that brought us aspartame. Those individuals were "sympathetic", to say the least, to Pharma's requests.
