LATEST HATCHET JOB BY MAINSTREAM MEDIA

by Andrew W. Saul, Editor

(OMNS, Jan 17, 2016) It may be time for some extra niacin. PBS FRONTLINE has advertised a program teaser for “Supplements and Safety” that proves, if nothing else, that yellow journalism still attracts viewers. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/supplements-and-safety/ Prepare to be presented with the same old anti-vitamin saws dressed up as sensational, breaking news. And here they are:

Legend Number One: “Supplements are unregulated!”

Not true. Supplements are indeed regulated. (Honestly, now: can you think of anything in this nation that the government doesn’t regulate?) Specifically, at the US Food and Drug Administration’s own website:

“FDA regulates both finished dietary supplement products and dietary ingredients.” http://www.fda.gov/Food/DietarySupplements/

Legend Number Two: “Supplements are untested and unproven! They reach the market without being tested and without proof of safety and effectiveness!”

FDA states, again at its own website:

“Manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements and dietary ingredients are prohibited from marketing products that are adulterated or misbranded. That means that these firms are responsible for evaluating the safety and labeling of their products before marketing. . . FDA is responsible for taking action against any adulterated or misbranded dietary supplement product after it reaches the market.”
