All Republican candidates
You have just been handed an issue that will win elections for you; however...
You must reach out to your constituents and explain that you will stand for consumers making their own informed decisions, because of the outstanding safety recorded for supplements; and because of the demonstrated health benefits, that there is no reason for government to regulate them using rules that are expressly intended for preservatives (which can be a form of biocide)

Answer: None
Now lets look at how many people die a year from Pharmaceutical drugs?
Answer: 265 thousand
This is nothing but Big Pharma through the corrupt government trying to control the people with there deadly and poisonous drugs.
Why should people not be able to judge what is best for them? Big Pharma knows people are taking care of their selves with fish oils, vitamins, etc... and it's cutting into their profit.
Land of the free??? My a$$
It's time to shut down all of these extra-constitutional agencies. They've become a fourth branch of government, and the bureaucrats who run them are essentially writing laws that affect everyone's lives.
This has got to stop.
I remember the fight in ‘94 - and the SWAT Teams raiding health food stores.
I'm an ole great granny now, but I'll be double dam*ed if they're gonna take my plants ans supplements without a fight.
For example, I gather Valerian and St. Jon's Wort from the fields - whadda they gonna do, put leg locks on me to keep from leaving my property?
as*hats
Good Grief!!! What next??
So I’m gonna have to start buying my Vitamin C from an underground source and face prison time for possession?
And..when I’m busted, they will find my stock pile of incandescent bulbs. I’m doomed...doomed I tell ya.
MORE government overreach; the problem is that the government has become so unrestrained in its nonsense that it’s impossible to know where to begin on rolling back BS regulations.
Un elected agencies encouraged to run wild. They need to be defunded house republicans! Anyone home? and if you are and you are doing a great job lets here it because all we here are crickets
I remember McCain pushing for something similar a while back. This will end up like the light bulb. We will have choices regulated away.
A lot of the prescription drugs people receive from their Quack Doctor leads to cancer in 5 years.
Just quiz people that have cancer if they were on prescription drugs.
