FDA has issued new rules that, if enacted, will enable them to ban supplements you are now taking.
Meanwhile, E. coli in food kill at least 2,000 people each year. Acetaminophen in drugs like Tylenol kills 450 people every year. Even the FDA now says Vioxx likely killed over 26,000 people before they finally took it off the market!
This is a blatant abuse of power. What the FDA is doing here is performing an end-run around the existing law. Fortunately, these FDA guidelines have not yet been finalized. All federal agencies are required to give the public an opportunity to comment on a draft before it is made final. In this case, the FDA has given interested parties until December 1st to comment on the draft.
