Before We Knew: the Dangers Of Breast Implants and Breast Implant Illness

It was afterall, the FDA who "green-lighted" silicone devices. Yet, the FDA allowed manufacturers to stall the efficacy study phase indefinately. The "green light" permission weighed heavily upon studies that never materialized to prove implant safety. The FDA was caught in an insoluble hoax perpetrated by greedy manufacturers. Now, more than ever, if women knew just how toxic implants were the hoax would finally be up.
