McCain has withdrawn his sponsorship of the bill. He should have never introduced it in the first place. Healthcare decisions belong with the family and individual – not with the Federal government.

Comment on FDA Finally Getting Tough on False Food Claims by David A. Mark

The 17 Warning Letters that were dated Feb 22 but made publiic March 3 were more of a shot through the engine room than a shot across the bows. Nestle alone got Warned on four products, and is most likely overhauling every label it sells. POM took a direct hit, as did walnuts, which has an FDA-approved health claim and still managed to go over the line!

What I found interesting is that the targets were all food companies. Usually the supplement industry takes a few hits when a shotgun blast like this goes off. We will have to wait to see if the FDA’s aim continues to be foods, or if supplements will get their turn.

Sorry for the typos. I am so angry about this proposed bill that I can’t type straight.

Has it ever occurred to anyone that the althletes who claim they took steroids like substances accidentally are not being honest? How many times must we all be punished for the misdeeds of others. Let the blame fall where it belongs: with thos who broke the rules. (As foar as I am not concerned about professional srorts and other games but I nderstand that a lot of people actually care about home run statistics, etc. I do not care about games. I do care about my health. Please leave me out of your stupid game with its stupid rules.)

AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, MCCAIN IS JUST ANOTHER HYPOCRITE WHO TOOK AN OATH TO SERVE US, BUT HAS DECIDED TO SERVE THE WISHES OF BIG BROTHER! HE CAN NO LONGER BE TRUSTED! HE IS JUST ANOTHER TRAITOR OF HIS OATH, JUST LIKE THE REST OF THEM IN WASHINGTON! I HAVE ONE ANSWER THAT MIGHT HELP, IT’S CALLED (TERM LIMITS) 8 YEARS AND NOOOO MORE! THEY ARE IN THE POLITICAL MACHINE WAY TOO LONG, AND BECOME SELF SERVING FOOLS THAT COULD CARE LESS ABOUT “WE THE PEOPLE” OR OUR RIGHTS! IT’S OUR FAULT IF WE DO NOT VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE! GET HIM OUT OF OFFICE! HE HAS NO RIGHT TO BE THERE ANY LONGER!

The FDA does not have the expertise to regulate dangerous prescription drugs, untested vaccines, nor does it regulate the pharmaceuticals. How on earth do they expect to regulate vitamins, supplements and herbs that actually help people?. This is a pharma bill to protect their profits and increase costs of products that help people overcome disease. Government has not regulated over the counter drugs, aspirins and approves drugs without testing and this is a sham to prevent the good health of Americans. McCain is a career politician who is getting pharma kickbacks to his re-election campaign.

Tanya and Brianna… good for you ladies! Yes indeed this is all about Codex Alimentarius. My fellow American brothers and sisters, we must, for the health of our families, research and understand Codex. The best quote I have heard… “the legislation of mandated toxicity and under nutrition”. The old man is being played by Big Pharma.

So much for Republicans and their claims that Democrats want to take away our freedoms with socialism right? All these politicians are the same. Pharma is behind this 100%. They kill thousands of people annually with their poison and a few athletes get duped by ephedra-based muscle building powder so they have to take control over the health supplement industry…screw them!

This is just another tactic to take our freedom. I don’t trust the FDA with everything either, they approve drugs that kills people and then they take them off the market for a while and release them again.It should be the american people’s choice to take vitamins if they want too. We take a chance on their drugs.
