Would you like the FDA to remove most vitamins and supplements from the open market, then make them available for Big Pharma to sell at inflated prices? I don't see any hands going up out there! If you doubt this can happen, read what has happened already to pyridoxamine as an example that has already happened. The price of this natural safe supplement just got elevated to brand name drug status.
Sen. John McCain has co-sponsored an act called the Dietary Supplement Safety Act of of 2009 which will do just that. The FDA will be able under this legislation to remove any vitamin or supplement from the market without scrutiny or appeal. Don't think for a moment they will act in your best interests with this new found power.
It will be very interesting to see the recorded vote on this Act. Any member of Congress or Senate who supports this vote should find out how many voters they will lose at their next election. Taking away your freedom to choose safe supplements over drugs should be remembered when you are next in the Federal Election voting booth.
