In contrast to other recent actions against supplement companies, this time it appears justified. Last week, the US Department of Justice, in conjunction with the Federal Trade Commission and the FDA, announced criminal indictments against a sports supplement manufacturer, USPLabs, as part of a nationwide sweep that included more than 100 supplement makers. The USPLabs […]
Proponents of genetically engineered (GE) crops maintain the dogmatic stance on two issues: that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are safe, and that the science is “settled.” Actual scientific research, however, tells a vastly different story. The use of GE crops has led to a drastic increase in the use of glyphosate and other pesticides. On […]
The FDA is currently taking comments on rules related to use of the word “natural” on food labels. One issue they are considering is whether to label GMOs as natural. Huh?

A recent FTC ruling on biodegradable plastics could put a chill on any environmentally friendly new product. ECM Biofilms, a company that produces additives for plastic […]
The FDA may think so. Action Alert! Last week, the FDA announced that it would be accepting public input on how—or whether—to define the term “natural” on food labels. This action came about as a result of a number of petitions filed by the Grocery Manufacturer’s Association (GMA) and Consumers Union. The GMA asked the […]
Here is another reason to be wary. A friend of one of our staff members went for a physical. The doctor found a “heart flutter,” a mild form of arrhythmia or irregularity of the heartbeat. He was referred to a cardiologist who immediately scheduled him for a catheterization procedure. This means an operation in which […]

The Food and Drug Administration was barreling ahead on this—and breaking the law by doing so. Now they say they’ll think about it. A year ago we reported on a new FDA sneak attack on medical food and supplements. The idea was simple: just issue a ruling that even studying a medical food or supplement […]
