A MESSAGE TO THOSE WHO CHERISH FREEDOM

[Guest guest]

Did you know that the Food and Ddietary supplement companies from

telling consumers how nutrients in their products can prevent or

treat rug Administration prohibits food and disease? No person or

entity that sells nutrients can lawfully tell you the therapeutic

effects of those products unless FDA approves each statement; that

prior restraint is imposed even if the statement is true. To tell you

one sentence of truth about how a nutrient affects a disease, a

company must spend tens of thousands of dollars and wait for a year

or more until FDA approves it (and FDA approves precious few). Not

many companies can afford those rates or those odds. The effect is a

mass suppression of health information in grocery stores, health food

stores, and in the media. Those with the greatest financial interest

in telling you the effects of the most basic substances we consume

every day cannot legally tell you. For example, it is illegal for

those who sell prune juice to tell consumers that their products

relieve chronic constipation yet who on earth would question the

truth of that statement? A company that did tell you that effect

could have its product enjoined from sale and seized and its

corporate officers prosecuted with potential prison terms.

The first part of this was messed up. It should say: Did you know

that the Food and Drug Administration prohibits food and dietary

supplement companies from telling consumers how nutrients in their

products can prevent or treat disease?
