Yes, I see that in the article. Please forgive me if I don't give much credibility to what the good folks at Live for the Now have to say on the subject. They're just another alarmist organization trying to protect their turf. I've been reading on FR since 2004 that big government and big pharma are colluding to take our vitamins and supplements away from us so big bad pharma can make more money. The Codex Alimentarius was supposed to send government agents busting through our doors for our vitamins back in 2005. You'd think with big government and big pharma on the same team, this would have been done long ago.

The fact is it's all a bunch of nonsense. No politicians is going to take away your ability to purchase supplements or vitamins. Big government and big pharma are not in cahoots. Only foolish people see government and the drug industry as anything other than adversarial. The FDA may impose more regulations on supplement suppliers, because as it stands now, they don't have to prove that their products are safe, contain what they say they do or do what they say they will. So, yeah, prices may go up. But that's not coming from lobbying by the drug industry. It's coming as a reaction to an industry that refuses to police itself.
