Taking On the PBS Frontline Special on Supplements, Part 1
January 27, 2016
You saw the PBS Frontline Special on supplements—it was clearly a hit piece. Today we get the perspective of Dr. Daniel Fabricant, the CEO of the Natural Products Association, who faced withering questioning on Frontline. Are supplements really “unregulated” as alleged? Does the scientific evidence suggest they’re worthless, or even harmful? Does Congress really need to tighten the approval process for supplements? Should nutritional products be subject to the same pre-approval process as drugs? Were that to happen, what would happen to consumer choice and access to innovation? Are there bad players within the supplement industry? What is the industry doing to self-regulate in order to pre-empt a power grab by regulators? How can consumers safeguard themselves from poor quality or even outright harmful supplements? Click HERE for part 2.
