Dear Mr. Friedman:
I am writing to notify you that FDA’s proposed rulemaking on
structure/function claims, 21 CFR Part 10l/Docket #98N-0044, is totally unacceptable to me
as an American consumer of dietary supplements. Any final rule must reflect the true
meaning and intent, mandated by Congress, of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education
Act (DSHEA).
I support the FDA’s effort to fully implement DSHEA as intended by
Congress, however, I strongly object to the proposed regulations which:
1. Limit my access to (scientific) information about dietary
supplements and health and,
2. Redefine disease restricting my ability to focus on preventive care and wellness.
It is extremely important to preserve Section 6 of DSHEA to allow for a
robust flow of valuable health information in the marketplace.
I want free access to available information about dietary supplements
and health, and I want FDA to withdraw its proposal to redefine disease in a way that
limits such health information.
DSHEA allows products to make structure/function claims on the product
labels. Redefining disease to nullify that part of DSHEA must be withdrawn.
Sincerely
