Dr. Robin Falkov and Rayelan discuss why Sen. McCain’s Dietary Supplement Safety Act (DSSA) is detrimental to every American’s health and should be defeated. They also share their views why tragedies happen, such as the recent death of the Sea World trainer in Orlando.
If passed, DSSA would repeal key sections of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) by reclassifying common items such as Vitamin C supplements with rose hips in the same drug category as steroids, subject to approval from the FDA. Various grassroots groups (click here for an example) have mobilized, urging Americans to tell their Congressional representatives to defeat this bill.
