This was forwarded to us regarding another companies dealings with FTC / FDA regulations on free speech.

A few months ago, we notified you that the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC” or “Commission”) intended to change its standard for “competent and reliable scientific evidence” as it applies to claims for over-the-counter (“OTC”) drugs, dietary supplements and functional foods, starting by imposing the new standard on individual companies through consent decrees. Now, as predicted, the FTC has introduced that new standard into consent decrees with Iovate Health Sciences, Inc. (“Iovate”) and Nestle HealthCare Nutrition, Inc. (“Nestle”).

Specifically, yesterday’s FTC consent decree with Iovate Health Sciences imposed a provision under which Iovate is barred from representing that its products cause weight loss or rapid weight loss unless the claims are truthful and backed by “competent and reliable scientific evidence” in the form of:

1.    At least two adequate and well-controlled human clinical studies,
2.    of the product at issue or an essentially equivalent product
3.    conducted by different experts independently of each other,
4.    that conform to acceptable designs and protocols and whose results, when
considered in light of the entire body of relevant and reliable scientific evidence, are sufficient to substantiate the claim.

Track This Bill HERE

McCain’s bill is called The Dietary Supplement Safety Act (DSSA). It would repeal key sections of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA). DSHEA protects supplements if 1) they are food products that have been in the food supply and not chemically altered or 2) if they were sold as supplements prior to 1994, the year that DSHEA was passed. If a supplement fits one of these two descriptions, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cannot arbitrarily ban it or reclassify it as a drug.

These protections are far from perfect. They discourage companies from developing new forms of supplements. New supplements may be arbitrarily banned by the FDA or adopted by drug companies in a way that precludes their further sale as supplements.

McCain’s bill would wipe out even the minimal protections contained in DSHEA. It would give the FDA full discretion and power to compile a discreet list of supplements allowed to remain on the market while banning all others.

Lloyd -

I've been buying product and following your advise for 10 years now.  I'm healthy because of you sharing your knowledge.  Can I somehow still get updates on what to take & how much?  I'm so sad to see what the FDA has done to shut down your sharing.

God Bless you Lloyd.
