Stop FDA Censorship
Consumers Need to Know The Facts
The United States is facing a worsening health care crisis as aging baby boomers financially exhaust the nation's medical systems.
The FDA is empowered to regulate many aspects of our healthcare, yet this Federal agency continues to behave in a manner that promotes illness and premature death.
An overwhelming amount of published scientific data supports the disease-prevention benefits of eating a healthier diet, yet the FDA still restricts what Americans are allowed to read on the labels of foods, beverages and dietary supplements.
We Can Change The Law
A bill is being introduced into the U.S. House of Representatives that would give consumers access to truthful, non-misleading health information. The name of this bill is “The Health Freedom Protection Act” and will be introduced in the U.S. House on Wednesday, November 9th, 2005.
The purpose of this bill is to amend the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act to ensure that:
Accurate health claims are not suppressed;
Consumers are given truthful and full information about the disease curative, mitigation, treatment, and prevention effects of foods and dietary supplements;
The FDA honors the intent of the Congress to not censor accurate health claims.
This is one of the most critical pieces of legislation to ever come before Congress. Passage of The Health Freedom Protection Act would enable the American public to learn how to prevent many of the degenerative diseases of aging. The healthcare crisis that is threatening to bankrupt Medicare, corporations, and aging individuals might be averted.
