Let Your Senator's Know This Is Not Ok

Here’s one that falls under the category of ‘truth is stranger than fiction.’ Sometimes the actions that Big Pharma, the F*D*A* and other governing boards take against the natural health and natural supplement industry can make a perfect movie script, much like Harrison Ford’s movie, The Fugitive. I have to say this one is reaching and don’t think it would even make the considertion of a down and out movie producer, clammoring to get anything on the screen.

As report on Life Extension website http://www.lef.org, the Senate is debating a bill that will enable the F*D*A to put vitamin supplement makers in jail for ten years if they cite findings from peer reviewed published scientific studies on the label of their dietary supplements or their website.

Kind of like, your damed if you do and your damed if you don’t. It seems that this is all falling under the Food Safety Accountability Act, which is designed to punish anyone who knowingly contaminates food for sale.

So this bill is about adulteration, but they are making the line even thinner between adulteration and misbranding…the term that has been used to punish nutrient manufacturers when making claims about their products.

As LEF article mentions, the belief is that the F*D*A will use this as a hammer to threaten and coerce small companies into signing crippling consent decrees that will deny consumer’s access to truthful non-misleading information about natural approaches to protect against age-related disease.

Information is a powerful thing, ane when your governing body decides to take action to prevent easy access…you really have to be concerned.

Please tell your two Senators to OPPOSE the Food Safety Accountability Act (S. 3767). You can do this in a few minutes on LEF convenient Legislative Action Center on their Web site at www.LEF.org
