Just received the following from the ALRI webmaster. This could be productive and it could be interference with the quality manufacturers. Hopefully it will minimize the false claims from the b/s manufacturers:
Friends and supplement patriots,
Congress is threatening to give new powers to the FDA. This bill Food Safety Accountability Act (S. 3767) is in the Senate and adds provisions to give the FDA power to imprison supplement manufacturers for up to 10 years for "adulteration and misbranding". Sounds logical except, something so simple as forgetting to fill out a form could get you labeled as "adulterating and misbranding" a supplement. Giving the FDA to push for criminal penalties would mean that they can strong arm any small company that doesn't have the money to fight.
Please email your Senator and tell them to stop this horrible bill from passing. This is URGENT, we need your help. The Senator who introduced the bill is trying to rush this through bu October 12th and hopes it goes through unopposed. Please take action by joining our friends at Life Extension Foundation and email your Senator today!
Please do it now, we need your help!
