The FDA has recently presented a draft legislation to go beyond previous congressional legislation, signed into law 30 years ago, to further regulate nutritional supplements. Supplements have been proven safe by decades of research. More than 60 billion supplements are consumed each year. While millions of people are harmed and killed by regulated drugs, in 2010 there were no deaths reported from nutritional supplements. Please demand the FDA withdraw its petition to regulate nutritional supplements and adhere to previous legislation on supplements, signed into law. If this needless FDA draft is approved it would cost billions to implement; millions of consumers would be deprived of nutritional supplements, as many producers would be forced out of business and costs would rise.
