Why? Because current law makes it illegal for food and supplement producers to share this information. In fact, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act states that a drug is defined as that which is intended to cure, treat, mitigate, diagnose, or prevent disease conditions. Therefore, foods or dietary supplements found to be beneficial for health conditions are in the eyes of the Federal Regulators unapproved drugs.</p> <div class="reply"> </div> </div> </li> <li class="comment even thread-even depth-1" id="comment-1351"> <div id="div-comment-1351" class="comment-body"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt='' src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/aed62dd395985da737c2be9895465deb?s=40&d=monsterid&r=G' class='avatar avatar-40 photo' height='40' width='40' /> <cite class="fn">alison cline</cite> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-meta commentmetadata"><a href="http://www.citizens.org/?page_id=2095&cpage=1#comment-1351">May 6, 2010 at 4:46 pm</a></div> <p>How are we to take responsibility of our own individual/family health without the tools-in this case, the science behind supplements. So much of what lots of people eat really isn’t food. Not being “allowed” to know what is in what we eat is irresponsible, to say the least.

No pharmaceutical entity should be deciding laws on our healthcare, as that responsibility rests with individuals and families. I am in favor of educating the masses in simple common sense approaches to re-establish and maintain our inherent health. The FDA is operating out of ignorance and so are many consumers and politicians. Anything from Senator McCain’s influence with healthcare is not based in fact but greed. I hope the house can see through the pharmaceutical industries spin. The union of Concerned Scientists and Citizen’s for Health have the most up to date and accurate information.</p> <div class="reply"> </div> </div> </li> <li class="pingback even thread-even depth-1" id="comment-1406"> <div id="div-comment-1406" class="comment-body"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <cite class="fn"><a href='http://www.citizens.org/?p=2180' rel='external nofollow' class='url'>Please Check Out The New Section On Right Sidebar of Citizens.org « Citizens For Health</a></cite> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-meta commentmetadata"><a href="http://www.citizens.org/?page_id=2095&cpage=1#comment-1406">May 14, 2010 at 1:33 pm</a></div> <p>[...] Freedom of Science Bill Action Alert [...]</p> <div class="reply"> </div> </div> </li> </ol> <div class="navigation"> <div class="alignleft"></div> <div class="alignright"></div> </div> <div id="respond"> <h3>Leave a Reply</h3> <div class="cancel-comment-reply"> <small><a rel="nofollow" id="cancel-comment-reply-link" href="/?page_id=2095#respond" style="display:none;">Click here to cancel reply.</a></small> </div> <form action="http://www.citizens.org/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform"> <p><input type="text" name="author" id="author" value="" size="22" tabindex="1" aria-required='true' /> <label for="author"><small>Name (required)</small></label></p> <p><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="" size="22" tabindex="2" aria-required='true' /> <label for="email"><small>Email (will not be published) (required)</small></label></p> <p><input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="" size="22" tabindex="3" /> <label for="url"><small>Website</small></label></p> <p><small>You can use these tags: <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <cite> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong> </small></p> <p><textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="100%" rows="10" tabindex="4"></textarea></p> <p><input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="5" value="Submit Comment" /> <input type='hidden' name='comment_post_ID' value='2095' id='comment_post_ID' /> <input type='hidden' name='comment_parent' id='comment_parent' value='0' /> </p> </form> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar"> <div id="sidebar-left"> <div id="subscribe2" class="s2class_widget_subscribe2widget"><h4>Subscribe To Posts</h4><div class="search"><form method="post" action=""><input type="hidden" name="ip" value="38.107.191.102" /><p>Your email:<br /><input type="text" name="email" value="Enter email address..." size="20" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Enter email address...') {this.value = '';}" onblur="if (this.value == '') {this.value = 'Enter email address...';}" /></p><p><input type="submit" name="subscribe" value="Subscribe" /> <input type="submit" name="unsubscribe" value="Unsubscribe" /></p></form> </div></div><div id="text-4" class="widget_text"><h4>Subscribe To Action Alerts</h4> <div class="textwidget"><a href="http://www.citizens.org/?page_id=919">Receive Alerts & Newsletters</a><br> <br></div> </div><div id="collapslink-3" class="widget_collapslink"><h4>Natural Health Freedom Resources</h4><script type="text/javascript"> // <![CDATA[ /* These variables are part of the Collapsing Links Plugin * Version: 0.3.2 * $Id: collapsLinkList.php 130201 2009-06-28 14:53:12Z robfelty $ * Copyright 2007-2009 Robert Felty (robfelty.com) */ var expandSym="<img src='http://www.citizens.org/wp-content/plugins/collapsing-links/img/expand.gif' alt='expand' />"; var collapseSym="<img src='http://www.citizens.org/wp-content/plugins/collapsing-links/img/collapse.gif' alt='collapse' />"; collapsAddLoadEvent(function() { autoExpandCollapse('collapsLink'); }); // ]]> </script> <ul class='collapsLinkList'> <li class='collapsLink'><span title='click to expand' class='collapsLink expand' onclick='expandCollapse(event, "►", "▼", 1, "collapsLink"); return false'><span class='sym'>►</span> Blogs & Podcasts</span> <ul id='collapsLink-73' style="display:none"> <li class='collapsLinkItem'><a href='http://www.altmd.com/' title="altMD.com makes it easy to learn about smart alternatives for health & wellness and to find the best local specialists.
