You probably know where your groceries come from, but what about your medicine?
According to Rosemary Gibson, coauthor of China Rx: Exposing the Risks of America's Dependence on China for Medicine, millions of Americans are taking prescription drugs made in China—and don't even know it.
Producing drugs in China can be dangerous because it circumvents FDA approval, therefore putting American lives at risk.
Gibson explains why we need a wake-up call for improving the current system of drug supply and manufacturing as she believes it's risky for the US to become dependent on any one country as a source for vital medicines.
