In the interest of fairness, I believe the moderators should allow a rebuttal to

the claim that " McCain Files New Bill Attacking Your Access to Supplements "

The purpose of the bill is not to attack our access to supplements, rather it is

to ensure mfgs properly disclose all ingredients on the labels, including

reformulations should be noted. For example how many of us would have known

Metagenics reformulated their supplements used in Yasko's protocol if Rich

hadn't alerted us.

Also it would require mgs to report reporting of minor averse events. How can

this be a bad thing? People, especially athletes, were dying because of

supplements like ephedra.

Also, I for one, am sick of paying outrageous amounts of money only to find that

amount of supplements in the bottle is no where near the amount advertised on

the bottle - as found by Consumer Reports.

While I'm not denying the bill can be abused and may hurt us, I don't believe

that was the intent and I refuse to support the manufacturers so they can

maintain their profits. Wall Street has proven self regulation doesn't work.
