"It is rare that a regulator acknowledges that a regulatory system isn’t
working, and publicly expresses a commitment to being more
science-based. There is a time-limited opportunity for the public
(including all of you non-Canadians!) to provide comment on how
supplement regulation could be more closely aligned around scientific
principles, rather than the supplement industry’s priorities. Whether
you take dietary supplements or not, we can probably all agree that
consumers should have access to safe products as well as credible,
relevant information about these products, in order to make informed
health decisions. It will likely not surprise you that these ideas are
seen as threats to supplement manufacturers, who benefit from little
regulatory oversight and few restrictions on what can currently be
claimed about any product’s effectiveness."
Natural Health Products: Loosely regulated, little evidence of benefit, and an industry intent on preserving the status quo
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
