I really hope this isnt true. Damn Democrats

*Senate to Consider Vitamin Ban*

The World Trade Organization’s food and drug regulatory body is
controlled by big drug companies, and they are trying to use it to make
all but the smallest doses of vitamins illegal to purchase without a
prescription worldwide. The Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2003,
Senate Bill 722, would do just that in the US, by effectively regulating
out of existence the sale of almost all vitamin supplements at higher
potencies, except by prescription.

The bill has been introduced by Democratic Senator Dick Durbin
<http://durbin.senate.gov/>, a strong advocate of the WTO and sponsor of
much pro-drug company legislation.

To help prevent this sellout of the American people to Big Drugs, write
in protest to Senate Bill 722 to your senators. Tell them what many of
them don’t know: SB 722 is NOT TRUTHFUL in its intentions. It will open
the door to devastatingly harsh regulation. Senators Hillary Clinton of
New York and Diane Feinstein of California have also declared themselves
in support of the bill. Find out how to contact your senators here

*Supplement Group Found to Reduce Cancer Risk*

At a time when the US Senate is considering making large-dose vitamins
unavailable to the American public except with prescriptions at drug
prices, an extensive study has revealed that a specific mega-dose
supplement group can dramatically reduce cancer risk.

A total of 13,000 men and women aged 30 to 65 took part in the study,
which found that regular use of a particular supplement group reduced
cancer risk 37% in men and 31% in women. The supplement group is: 6mg of
beta-carotene, 120mg of vitamin C, 90mg of vitamin E, 100 micrograms of
selenium, and 20 milligrams of zinc.

Under SB 722, supplements at these dosages would be available only as
prescription drugs. To read more about the study click here
