The House Version of S.1082 (H.R.2900) Continues the Attack on Dietary Supplements

Fake drug safety legislation now moves to the floor of the House (H.R. 2900). The Senate has already passed its similar version (S.1082). Within this legislation is a blatant attack by the FDA on dietary supplements. The FDA is seeking the power to brand dietary supplements as unsafe using drug related risk-benefit analysis. Unless the wording in the bill is changed the FDA will have the power to remove any dietary supplement from the market based on its opinion. The bill is expected to come to the floor of the House for debate and vote during the second or third week of July.

Within this massive 300 page FDA reform bill is a major change called the Reagan-Udall Foundation that turns the FDA into a drug company. As part of this Reagan-Udall Foundation the FDA is seeking new powers under the pretense of consumer safety. In reality, the FDA is seeking the power to brand any dietary supplement it chooses as unsafe and remove it from the market. Since the FDA considers dietary supplements competition to drugs and since the FDA is becoming a drug company, it is likely that many dietary supplements will be removed to clear the path for greater pharmaceutical profits.
