Don't let the F.D.A. outlaw new supplements!
Exercise your right to stop this threat.
Call your Representative and Senators on September 8th!
Back in the early 1990s, consumers were so alarmed by F.D.A. bullying that they
staged a massive revolt. The result was that Congress passed the Dietary
Supplement Health and Education Act (D.S.H.E.A.) prohibiting the F.D.A. from
banning popular nutrients, which the agency had threatened to do.
There was, however, a loophole in the 1994 law. The F.D.A. was given authority
to regulate ingredients introduced after October 15, 1994.
It has been 17 years, but the F.D.A. just issued draconian proposals as to how it
intends to regulate what it now calls "new dietary ingredients." If implemented,
some of the most effective nutrients you are taking will be removed from the
market. This includes many fish oil formulas and natural plant extracts.
These oppressive rules are exactly what the 1994 law (D.S.H.E.A.) sought to
prevent. The F.D.A. is using its authority in direct violation of congressional
intent.
In order for these ingredients you are using today to return to the market, the
F.D.A. will require manufacturers to conduct outrageously expensive studies using
absurdly high doses, in some situations multiplied by a "safety factor" up to
2,000 times the recommended dosage on a per product basis.
And remember, the F.D.A. defines dietary supplements as being "new" if they were
introduced after October 15, 1994. That means that even certain nutrients that
have been safely used for as long as 17 years will be subject to the F.D.A.’s
oppressive policies that mandate costly testing.
Please read this article. Then, call your Representative and two Senators on
September 8, 2011 to say "NO" to the F.D.A.'s New Dietary Ingredient Guidelines!
Use the talking points attached to demand that the F.D.A. withdraw these
proposed guidelines. Protect your health and your freedom now!
