OT - Bill threatens our access to dietary supplements

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

I mostly lurk and never have posted anything like this however I thought many of

you may be interested.

 

Here are some links in order that you may send an electronic letter opposing the

passage of Senate House Bill 3002. This is the bill that was introduced by

Senator John McCain (R-AZ) and Senator Byron Dorgan (D-ND) that threatens our

access to dietary supplements.

You may also wish to request your Senators to oppose any provisions that may be

added from H. 3002 to S. 510, the FDA Food Safety Modernization bill.

 

You can track the status of S. 3002 and S. 510 at www.govtrack.us

 

These 3 Senators are up for reelection in November Michael Bennett (D-CO) ,

Robert Bennett (R-UT) and Tom (R-OK). If you live in these states you may want

to let them know where you stand on this issue.

 

The bill has been referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor,

and Pensions. Should you live in one of the states which has a Senator on this

committee, you may want to contact them and request your Senator to hold this

legislation and keep it from moving out of committee.

 

Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) 202-224-5521

Michael B. Enzi (R-WY) 202-224-3424

Tom Coburn (R-OK) 202-224-5754

 

Hugs,

Hi Buffy,

 

I have to plead ignorance here.  I don't know much about this bill. What

specific provisions in it do you (and others)  find objectionable? What are

people specifically concerned about? Anyone, feel free to jump in and respond.

Hi Patricia,

 

You may read the bill on any of the links provided. In short, it would provide

the FDA absolute power to arbitrarily ban any supplement it sees fit. Also, the

burdensome and duplicative record keeping would put most of the dietary

supplement industry out of business. DSSA would take away our right to become

educated about nutrients and to use same to support and promote our health.
