One thing I am passionate about, but often do not talk about, are how unsafe products affect the health and wellness of people just like you and me.

Whenever I hear about a drug that causes cancer, a medical device or product that is causing harm I get interested. I often spend hours research the science behind the complications and the data associated with it.

I decided to do something constructive with that data -- Share it with you!
