S O S - SAVE OUR SUPPLEMENTS
Proposed legislation could be a bitter pill to swallow
Legislation that could shelve nutritional supplements for good is working its way through Congress in the form of Senate bill S. 722. If this bill is passed into law it will become the Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2003 and will severely limit the range of dietary supplements you can choose from. That includes many of the most popular bodybuilding supplements.
If you are against this initiative, the best way to register your disapproval is to contact your state's two U.S. senators.
To do this visit http://www.senate.gov, choose your state from the drop-down menu, and the phone numbers and e-mail addresses will be listed for each senator.
Call, fax or e-mail your U.S. senators today. Ask them not to change the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (known as DSHEA). Tell them you don't want your access to dietary supplements to be limited. Ask them to oppose S. 722 or any similar proposed legislation.
GET THE FACTS
For an in-depth look at the truth behind the proposed legislation and the history of supplementation and the FDA, please read Jeff O'Connell's article Supplements Under Siege. It may be the most important article on nutrition you'll ever read!
