Two Clinical Trials for Fruit Juice? That’s What the FTC Was Demanding!
In breaking news, the DC Appeals Court says that would be unconstitutional. But the rest of the decision in the POM Wonderful case was disappointing. Last August, ANH-USA filed a friend-of-the-court (amicus) brief in support of POM Wonderful. The Federal Trade Commission had barred the pomegranate juice company (and, by extension, other natural product companies) from advertising […]

New “21st Century Cures” Bill Is Yet Another Gift to the Pharmaceutical Industry
It’s called a 21st century bill, but this extraordinarily dense legislative proposal follows an old, 20th century paradigm: if there’s an illness, create some new government-subsidized drugs to throw at it.

Compounded Medications Even More At Risk
A new threat to compounded drugs (including bioidentical estriol for women and compounded time-release thyroid) has emerged. Action Alert! The US Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) has released an overreaching draft proposal that may inadvertently crush many small compounding pharmacies—unless we take action.

Supplements Are Not Food Additives
Federal law makes it very clear that food additives and supplements are not to be treated the same way. But once again the FDA doesn’t seem to care about the law. Action Alert!
