Reseña del libro "Death Before Dying (en Inglés)"
Wayne Stiles wanted his life to make a difference, and after working at the FDA in Rockville, Maryland for a few years, he began to realize there was more to life than endless stacks of paperwork. Disillusioned with his job, compounded by an uncontrollable weight problem, he felt prompted to begin a personal investigation of dangerous food additives that had been approved by the very organization for which he worked...the Food and Drug Administration.The explosive information that Wayne had been gathering was being secretly monitored. And, before he could expose his findings, he was found murdered in his apartment.Wayne's younger sister, Laura, was determined to continue with his research. Her objective was to get her articles about the dangerous food additives, interlinked to our National obesity epidemic, published in prominent newspapers, but when she accomplished that, her life also became threatened.Undeterred by the death threats and having an encounter with a hired assassin, Laura continued her quest to expose a cover-up and conspiracy with a major pharmaceutical company, the fast-food chains, and the FDA.As she battled against the inexhaustible power of the conspirator's addiction to money, her findings revealed the payoffs and the promotions.With total disregard for the welfare of mankind, and with incomplete testing by the FDA, and a revolving door policy between the pharmaceutical companies and the FDA, the conspirators fed on the public's ignorance of their induced addiction, and bled them for money in medical establishments and fast-food restaurants. Using a never-ending cash flow, millions were invested in the psychoanalysis of the human mind, and in how to further its addiction and spending, to meet the conspirators' desires.As Laura complied with more newspapers and television programs, which were eager to cover her story, she was kidnapped and taken to a pharmaceutical laboratory on the outskirts of Chicago. While being held captive and sedated, a drastic procedure was performed on her, resulting in her having a craving for the addictive foods that she had fought so diligently to condemn. With eighty percent of the USA population overweight, and the addictive food additives and bovine growth hormones contributing greatly to the problem, would Laura ever be able to continue her quest of warning the populace about these addictive and dangerous foods, or would she become just another statistic, destined to struggle with a debilitating weight problem?
