"ANH-USA has filed a historic legal challenge to restore the public's right to know about 118 science-backed nutrient health claims-statements made by the government's own health agencies but censored by the FDA for nearly 30 years. The FDA's unlawful censorship has hidden proven nutrient-disease connections, protecting pharmaceutical profits while depriving consumers of safe, affordable, and natural health options. If successful, this case would unlock truthful information, empower consumers, and allow supplements to stand on equal footing with drugs in supporting health and preventing disease."
"These aren't marketing slogans, but science-backed claims from the government's own health agencies, claims the FDA has illegally kept off supplement labels where consumers need them most. Our filing identifies 118 distinct claims on nutrient-disease relationships made by government agencies on a variety of nutrients, carefully cataloguing the scientific studies that support the claims. You can get a sense of the scale of this project from this picture of ANH's General Counsel, Jonathan Emord, with the printed out filing and supporting evidence."
ANH-USA filed a lawsuit seeking restoration of public access to 118 science-backed nutrient-disease claims originally made by government health agencies but removed from supplement labels by FDA censorship for nearly thirty years. The filing catalogs governmental statements and scientific studies supporting each claim and argues the FDA’s actions violate the 1997 Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act that permitted health claims based on authoritative statements. The lawsuit asserts censorship has obscured proven nutrient-disease links, favored pharmaceutical interests, and limited consumer access to safe, affordable, natural options. A favorable ruling would permit truthful labeling, empower consumers, and place supplements on equal footing with drugs.
