	FDA
		The FDA appears to be unduly and, in our opinion, over-concerned about the safety of vitamins and herbs when the health hazards of these products do not even come close to the health risks and serious side-effects of prescription medication.
		This was the case when, in June 1997, FDA proposed, among other things, to limit the amount of ephedrine alkaloids in dietary supplements (marketed as ephedra, Ma huang, Chinese ephedra, and epitonin, for example) and provide warnings to consumers about hazards associated with use of dietary supplements containing the ingredients.
		FDA's proposal is consistent with the guidance on the distinction between structure-function and disease claims provided in the 1997 report by the President's Commission on Dietary Supplement Labels.

	FDA officials ordered herb books destroyed!!! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The FDA goes ballistic when it thinks a company is selling stevia as a natural sweetener - a property for which the herb is well-known in Paraguay and Brazil where it grows.
		According to FDA officials, the herb stevia can be "adulterated," merely by being in the presence of information that reveals its sweetening property.
		The FDA approves of them but not a sweetener (Stevia) that is far more sweeter than sugar and has no none side effects after years of use and is natural.

	White House Defends FDA as Drug Safety Debate Looms (washingtonpost.com)

		Right now, the FDA is reviewing the New Dietary Ingredient clause in DSHEA and making new rules that may impact your health and access to safe and innovative dietary supplements.
		I urge you to ensure that any new FDA guidelines for New Dietary Ingredients reflect the intent of Congress and continue to provide complete access to the safe, affordable and innovative dietary supplements I rely on for my health.
		I applaud the FDA's initiatives to fully implement DSHEA and to develop clear guidelines for manufacturers to follow when introducing new ingredients to the market, but I'm concerned that the questions FDA poses in their draft comments may lead to barriers that may preclude many safe products from reaching the market place.

	Reputation of the FDA in shambles after Vioxx scandal; calls for wholesale FDA reform gain momentum
		The reputation of both the FDA and Merck lies in shambles today after evidence continues to surface that shows the FDA knowingly approved, promoted and refused to recall a dangerous drug that caused an untold number of fatalities among the American population: Vioxx.
		He also explained, "...with Vioxx, Merck and the FDA acted out of ruthless, short-sighted, and irresponsible self-interest." In other words, Merck and the FDA were playing the classic "cover your ass" game in trying to hide the destructive health consequences of Vioxx from the public for as long as possible.
		In a very real sense, the FDA is the godfather of the U.S. drug racket, where dangerous chemicals are hyped, approved and sold to the American people, regardless of their true dangers.
