193. Dietary Supplement Labeling Act (S 1310) - 2011

Sun Oct 13, 2013, 02:14 PM

Oct 2013

Durbin (D) sponsored this bill and then also tried to slip it onto another bill - S 3187, the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act, in 2012.

The March 2013 GAO Dietary Supplements report actually showed how incredibly safe supplements really are—particularly when compared to drugs and vaccines.

Why would you buy from someone who lies about what's in their product? Th1onein Oct 2013 #67

There is no regulation, and, yes, they all lie about the evidence of the benefits. HuckleB Oct 2013 #70

You are just flat out wrong. Th1onein Oct 2013 #72

Oh, so you think the FDA should just cut and run on Big Pharma? HuckleB Oct 2013 #74

My motivation is FACTS. Th1onein Oct 2013 #81

You have a reputation for not caring about the science of most things. HuckleB Oct 2013 #83

No, honey, quite the contrary. Unlike you, I do my homework. Th1onein Oct 2013 #85

You make a lot claims, but you offer no evidence. HuckleB Oct 2013 #87

It's funny how the regulations you want are the same ones Big Pharma wants. Th1onein Oct 2013 #147

It's funny how you use these tired libertarian baloney excuses. HuckleB Oct 2013 #172

I support CONSUMERS who don't want to pay $750 a month for their Vitamin C. Th1onein Oct 2013 #177

Hogwash. You support BILLION DOLLAR SCUMBAG SUPPLEMENT COMPANIES! HuckleB Oct 2013 #179

Even YOUR OP states that two of the companies tested (and they didn't test many) Th1onein Oct 2013 #188

My OP is about one study. HuckleB Oct 2013 #189

WHERE ARE THE OTHERS? WHERE'S YOUR SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS? Th1onein Oct 2013 #195

Oh, that's right those blog posts by science address, cover and link to studies. HuckleB Oct 2013 #208

Is that really all you got? Personal attacks? Th1onein Oct 2013 #201

I've got the clear consensus of science behind me. HuckleB Oct 2013 #209

You keep saying that, but you post NOTHING to support it. Th1onein Oct 2013 #227

You have lied about that repeatedly. HuckleB Oct 2013 #230

Everyone here can see what you posted, HuckleB. Th1onein Oct 2013 #232

You are lying again. Everyone can see that. HuckleB Oct 2013 #234

I see not one article that can be referenced on any scientific indice; not ONE. Th1onein Oct 2013 #240

And you lie again. HuckleB Oct 2013 #242

Really? Then why don't you post the indices where they are referenced? Th1onein Oct 2013 #245

You are only playing games. HuckleB Oct 2013 #274

If you think the FDA keeps us safe from big pharma, I have some swamp land to sell you. WCLinolVir Oct 2013 #253

Absolutely correct, WCLinolVir. The FDA is hand in hand with Big Pharma. Th1onein Oct 2013 #257

Yep. It never ceases to amaze me just how vulnerable the public is thanks to the FDA. WCLinolVir Oct 2013 #260

Big Pharma needs more regulation. HuckleB Oct 2013 #275

Just curious wercal Oct 2013 #145

Absolutely not. And it's not knee jerk. Th1onein Oct 2013 #148

How many 'new' supplement applications wercal Oct 2013 #150

How many supplements are there? How does this system work now for drugs out of patent? Th1onein Oct 2013 #153

What other government regulation are you wercal Oct 2013 #156

I'm not against any government regulation, per se. But this law? No. It will devastate consumers. Th1onein Oct 2013 #158

Well I don't see any bill being sponsored wercal Oct 2013 #160

They try to slip them in tacked onto other bills, AND pass them by themselves. Th1onein Oct 2013 #169

I'd like to see an example of one of these bills. wercal Oct 2013 #183

Don't worry. Big Supplement has plenty of sway with Congress. HuckleB Oct 2013 #192

Dietary Supplement Labeling Act (S 1310) - 2011 Th1onein Oct 2013 #193

Well I read the bill here: wercal Oct 2013 #264

It subjects supplement ingredients to the same testing that drugs are tested with. Th1onein Oct 2013 #265

Well the entire text of that bill is at the link I listed wercal Oct 2013 #267

Sorry, might have posted the wrong one. I think this is it. Th1onein Oct 2013 #268

You've got to be kidding me. HuckleB Oct 2013 #299

yes, keep on making sweeping, entirely unsupported statements & maybe they will magically come true Bill USA Oct 2013 #302

First, you are misrepresenting this study. HuckleB Oct 2013 #304

HOW AM I MISREPRESENTING TH STUDY U REFERRED TO? I QUOTED FROM THE ARTICLE ON UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH Bill USA Oct 2013 #306

You quote out of context. HuckleB Oct 2013 #312

I gave a link to the article on the Univ of Guelph website. anybody can click on it and read what Bill USA Oct 2013 #313

You have yet to offer anything that is accurate or intellectually honest. HuckleB Oct 2013 #316

the information I quoted is from the conclusions of the study you referred to in OP Bill USA Oct 2013 #317

You seem to think that quoting out of context is ok. HuckleB Oct 2013 #325

Now why would you claim something the study you posted about does not make? Bill USA Oct 2013 #305

I wasn't talking about the study in that post. HuckleB Oct 2013 #311

OH, you weren't talking about the study you started this thread about, the one you refer to in th OP Bill USA Oct 2013 #314

Then act like an adult. HuckleB Oct 2013 #315

you're making noises without making any sense. I guess you feel you don't have to be constrained by Bill USA Oct 2013 #318

That would be you. HuckleB Oct 2013 #321

Hoping if you say it enough times, it will magically become true? Bill USA Oct 2013 #322

"Magic" is all you have to justify your ugly, corporate crap. HuckleB Oct 2013 #326

Are you that naive, or do you think I am? jberryhill Oct 2013 #102

People need education about supplements; not more regulation. Th1onein Oct 2013 #131

This is libertarian hogwash. HuckleB Oct 2013 #190

Really? Is that why the FDA agrees with me? And the GAO, too! Th1onein Oct 2013 #196

The GAO does not agree with you. HuckleB Oct 2013 #206

Sorry, HuckleB, they DO agree with me. So does the FDA. Th1onein Oct 2013 #210

All of your nonsense is an ugly attack. You have lied repeatedly. Including here. HuckleB Oct 2013 #214

Stop with the personal attacks, HuckleB. I've posted links to PubMed. Do they lie? Th1onein Oct 2013 #225

How many times do I have to explain the value of preliminary studies and even small, single reviews? HuckleB Oct 2013 #228

Did you read the REVIEWS, HuckleB? Th1onein Oct 2013 #236

Let me get this straight, we're supposed to by into your cherry picked nothingness? HuckleB Oct 2013 #237

You have posted blog posts, on varying topics, and called that a consensus on one topic. Th1onein Oct 2013 #243

And you lie yet again. HuckleB Oct 2013 #244

Your posts speak for themselves. Everyone here can see them. Th1onein Oct 2013 #249

Yes, they can. HuckleB Oct 2013 #276

Big Pharma would love to regulate itself. HuckleB Oct 2013 #6

FDA regulates both finished dietary supplement products and dietary ingredients. SoLeftIAmRight Oct 2013 #11

Now you're spamming this nonsense. HuckleB Oct 2013 #12

I am not PUSHING anything. SoLeftIAmRight Oct 2013 #15

Your history is not good. HuckleB Oct 2013 #17

The Science Based Medicine website is a joke. Try, life extension foundation SoLeftIAmRight Oct 2013 #22

"Life extension" is a supplement seller, pushing bad science. It is not legitimate. HuckleB Oct 2013 #23

The GAO Report on Supplement Regulation HuckleB Oct 2013 #19

WHAT SUPPLIMENTS DO YOU USE??? SoLeftIAmRight Oct 2013 #26

You're the same guy pushing a supplement seller as a good source of information. HuckleB Oct 2013 #27

There it is. Been waiting for the mocking emoticon. You were slow today. SoLeftIAmRight Oct 2013 #30

All of those questions have been answered long ago. HuckleB Oct 2013 #31

This board is not just for you and me. Let other know where you stand. SoLeftIAmRight Oct 2013 #33

You're pushing red herring because the evidence is against you. HuckleB Oct 2013 #37

How do you feel about Vitamin D SoLeftIAmRight Oct 2013 #42

Everyone needs vitamin D. HuckleB Oct 2013 #47

and you push blogs as source of information. darkangel218 Oct 2013 #36

And I push accurate sources of information. HuckleB Oct 2013 #40

You post crap from blogs and call it a "scientific consensus." It's laughable. Th1onein Oct 2013 #142

What's laughable is that you are incapable of understanding reality. HuckleB Oct 2013 #164

Personal attack. You lose. Th1onein Oct 2013 #200

Derp. HuckleB Oct 2013 #217

You neglect to say that the GAO concluded that supplements were safe. Th1onein Oct 2013 #197

There are multiple studies showing problems with supplements. HuckleB Oct 2013 #218

So, NOW, you admit that they are safe, but only because you HAD to. Th1onein Oct 2013 #229

I never said they were or weren't safe. You are lying, again. HuckleB Oct 2013 #231

QUOTE: "218. There are multiple studies showing problems with supplements." Th1onein Oct 2013 #246

Are you saying there aren't? HuckleB Oct 2013 #277

What FDA???? There is no FDA. valerief Oct 2013 #29

The world's most dangerous moment is upon us (Fukushima) SoLeftIAmRight Oct 2013 #4

Regulation should include companies proving the claims they make for their products. HuckleB Oct 2013 #5

Again you fail to discuss your post. SoLeftIAmRight Oct 2013 #7

I posted an article about a study. To call it biased material is simply ludicrous. HuckleB Oct 2013 #8

FDA regulates both finished dietary supplement products and dietary ingredients. SoLeftIAmRight Oct 2013 #9

Not really, and you know it. HuckleB Oct 2013 #10

I do not care. There are many more serious issues to consider. SoLeftIAmRight Oct 2013 #13

There may be "bigger" issues, but this is not a small one. HuckleB Oct 2013 #16

Can YOU tell me your deepest concern? SoLeftIAmRight Oct 2013 #18

It is quite clear that there are nowhere near enough regulations. HuckleB Oct 2013 #20

DO YOU HAVE TROUBLE FINDING GOOD SUPPLIMENTS? SoLeftIAmRight Oct 2013 #24

And another red herring is offered up. HuckleB Oct 2013 #25

No. Suppliments can not tie your shoes. SoLeftIAmRight Oct 2013 #28

So you think the clear consensus of the science is a straw man. HuckleB Oct 2013 #32

I don't think so, HuckleB. Th1onein Oct 2013 #68

No, you are spouting a corporatist, anti-regulation line. HuckleB Oct 2013 #69

Sorry, but you are ignorant. I am not. Th1onein Oct 2013 #73

You don't seem to be able to support any of your claims. HuckleB Oct 2013 #75

Oh, because YOU say they're debunked, then they must be debunked. Load of crap. Th1onein Oct 2013 #80

And you continue with your logical fallacy. HuckleB Oct 2013 #82

I'm not going to waste my time with you. Th1onein Oct 2013 #84

I do know what the consensus is, AND I've shown it. HuckleB Oct 2013 #88

ONE article, wherein even the AUTHORS admit that the sample size is too small to generalize, Th1onein Oct 2013 #91

Why do you pretend the consensus is based on one study? HuckleB Oct 2013 #107

ONE ARTICLE IS NOT A CONSENSUS. What is it about that, that you don't get? Th1onein Oct 2013 #94

Multiple studies. HuckleB Oct 2013 #106

If there are multiple studies, POST THEM. Th1onein Oct 2013 #120

You know that some of them have been posted on this thread already. HuckleB Oct 2013 #124

It's very simple. POST THEM. Th1onein Oct 2013 #140

It's very simple. I've posted some already. HuckleB Oct 2013 #165

Yeah, I saw those blog posts. Wow, what a "scientific consensus" you got there! Th1onein Oct 2013 #185

Your dishonesty is out of this world. HuckleB Oct 2013 #191

Why rely on what I say? How about the GAO report on supplements? Th1onein Oct 2013 #194

The GAO is calling for more regulation. HuckleB Oct 2013 #213

BUT NOT THE REGULATION THAT YOU ARE CALLING FOR! YOU ARE MISREPRESENTING THE FACTS! Th1onein Oct 2013 #248

Those are not all the GAO's recommendations. HuckleB Oct 2013 #278

You misrepresent them, as I'd already shown in post 14. HuckleB Oct 2013 #298

Ah, the shill gambit. HuckleB Oct 2013 #108

Why do you want BIG PHARMA to screw people? Th1onein Oct 2013 #144

I don't. Why do you think putting words in the mouths of others is ok? HuckleB Oct 2013 #167

Big Pharma words are coming out of your mouth. Th1onein Oct 2013 #181

And the baseless personal attacks continue. HuckleB Oct 2013 #184

I've attacked your information, not you. I can't say that you've done the same with me, HuckleB. Th1onein Oct 2013 #199

You have not attacked my information in any way. HuckleB Oct 2013 #220

Over and over again, I've attacked your information. Th1onein Oct 2013 #238

The scientific consensus is astoundingly clear. HuckleB Oct 2013 #241

It's astoundingly clear that there is no scientific consensus. Th1onein Oct 2013 #250

Only in your fantasy world. HuckleB Oct 2013 #279

ONE ARTICLE DOES NOT MAKE A CONSENSUS! Th1onein Oct 2013 #93

The consensus that most supplements are worthless is based on multiple studies. HuckleB Oct 2013 #109

What are you talking about? WHERE ARE THE STUDIES TO WHICH YOU REFER? Th1onein Oct 2013 #123

You're ignoring them. HuckleB Oct 2013 #125

Now you're resorting to posting things that are simply not true. Th1onein Oct 2013 #134

You've responded to a link that contains links to several studies. HuckleB Oct 2013 #135

WHERE ARE THE STUDIES THAT YOU SAY EXIST? Th1onein Oct 2013 #139

You know where they are. HuckleB Oct 2013 #168

Blog posts do not equal scientific articles. Th1onein Oct 2013 #202

Blog posts by scientists that link to and discuss studies are quite legitimate. HuckleB Oct 2013 #205

LOL! You gotta actually read the studies, HuckleB. Th1onein Oct 2013 #212

The only thing you've ever read is a summary. HuckleB Oct 2013 #216

Again, you think preliminary studies lead to a clinical determination. HuckleB Oct 2013 #126

Nothing there offers a justification for clinical use. HuckleB Oct 2013 #178

Do you even know the difference between a review and a study? Th1onein Oct 2013 #204

No, reviews are not settled science, FFS. HuckleB Oct 2013 #233
