Protect Dietary Supplements from Federal Trade Commission-Contact Congress

[Guest guest]

Dear Reader,

Is the Federal Trade Commission breaking the law? The Alliance for Natural

Health says so.

The FTC recently trotted out a new set of requirements for health-related

claims for foods and dietary supplements -- and the ANH is saying these

requirements directly violate federal law.

Why? Because they're going against the Dietary Supplement Health and

Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA), which permits structure/function claims for

foods

and supplements without two random-controlled human trials -- trials the

FTC is now requiring for ANY health-related claim. This new policy is being

enforced without the FTC having gone through the rulemaking process that is

required by law.

The ANH has put together a Petition for Rulemaking challenging the FTC,

and they're asking for your support. I've just grazed the surface of the

issue here. You'll find more comprehensive coverage -- and a way to join in the

fight -- _here_

Unfortunately the Federal Trade Commission(FTC) does not have to listen to

you. As a matter of fact if they do, they are likely to be fired.

Therefore you should make a copy of the form letter Alliance for Natural Health

has

and send it to you Congrssmember and 2 senators, asking them to contact

the FTC and urge them to withdraw the regulations and follow the Dietary

Supplement Health Education Act and the Pearson v.Shalala Decision upholding

it.
