CITIZEN PETITION OF THE
AMERICAN DIETETIC ASSOCIATION, THE OBESITY SOCIETY, SHAPING AMERICA'S HEALTH, AND GLAXOSMITHKLINE CONSUMER HEALTHCAREREQUESTING THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION TO DETERMINE THAT CLAIMS THAT DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS PROMOTE, ASSIST, OR OTHERWISE HELP IN WEIGHT LOSS ARE DISEASE CLAIMS UNDER SECTION 403(R)(6) OF THE FEDERAL FOOD, DRUG AND COSMETIC ACT
Isn't it comforting to know that GlaxoSmithKline, makers of that unppleasant drug Alli, are looking out for us? Seconded by several groups (quite coincidentally) supported by GSK?
Please go to the Citizens for Health website to oppose this unconscionable attack on our health liberties. If this passes, the stage would be set for challenges to other types of claims leading to what would constitute irreparable damage to the dietary supplement industry and irrevocable losses to consumer choice.
