FDA seizes $71k in herbal tea products as campaign of censorship against nutritional supplements continues
(NewsTarget) The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, continuing its campaign of censorship against truthfully-described herbal supplements, seized $71,000 worth of Charantea herbal supplements last week in a raid involving U.S. Marshals. The company, Fulllife Natural Options, was accused by the FDA of marketing an “unapproved drug” due to the truthful marketing claims that accurately describe the blood sugar lowering effects of the product’s main ingredient: Bitter Melon fruits.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, there is no such thing as an herb, food or supplement that has any biological activity whatsoever on the human body (other than simply providing calories), and any person who dares to make such a claim is immediately considered to be in violation of the FDA’s authority. Any substance that has any therapeutic effect whatsoever on the human body is considered by the FDA to be a “drug” and must be approved as such — a lengthy process costing about $800 million and requiring the favor of an agency that practically works for Big Pharma.

Good Evening!
We’ve added a new link on the Blogroll (at the bottom right side of the page) that says “Stop Codex: Protect Health Freedom”. This link will lead you to a site where you can sign various petitions fighting the threat facing the Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act by Codex Alimentarius. Codex was started in 1962 as a trade Commission by the UN to control the international trade of food. Click here to read more about them and what they’re trying to do. Please take some time to read the information on this site and do some research for yourself and sign a petition if you want to support the movement.
Feel free to email myself or Janet if you have any questions about how this may impact you. Thank you! Shari

Tea Drinkers May Have Lower Skin Cancer Risk
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – People who unwind with a cup of tea every night may have a lower risk of two common forms of skin cancer, new research suggests.
In a study of nearly 2,200 adults, researchers found that tea drinkers had a lower risk of developing squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma, the two most common forms of skin cancer.
Men and women who had ever been regular tea drinkers — having one or more cups a day — were 20 percent to 30 percent less likely to develop the cancers than those who didn’t drink tea.
The effect was even stronger among study participants who’d been tea fans for decades, as well as those who regularly had at least two cups a day, according to findings published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.
