Health Freedom Protection Act (HR 4282)
Introduced Into US Congress... (Continued)
Following is an Excerpt from
Congressman Ron Paul's Website (Page 2 of 3):
FDA bureaucrats have even refused to abide by the DSHEA section
allowing the public to have access to scientific articles and
publications regarding the role of nutrients in protecting against
diseases by claiming that every article concerning this topic is
evidence of intent to sell a drug.
Because of the FDA’s censorship of truthful health claims,
millions of Americans may suffer with diseases and other health care
problems they may have avoided by using dietary supplements. For
example, the FDA prohibited consumers from learning how folic acid
reduces the risk of neural tube defects for four years after the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended every woman
of childbearing age take folic acid supplements to reduce neural
tube defects. This FDA action contributed to an estimated 10,000
cases of preventable neutral tube defects!
The FDA also continues to prohibit consumers from learning about the
scientific evidence that glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are
effective in the treatment of osteoarthritis; that omega-3 fatty
acids may reduce the risk of sudden death heart attack; and that
calcium may reduce the risk of bone fractures.
