Nonetheless, Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) wants this same FDA, with its dismal safety record, to regulate dietary supplements. The Dietary Supplement Safety Act (DSSA), S. 3002 (text of this bill posted on Senator McCain's website), that McCain has introduced with one cosponsor, would repeal key provisions of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) to “more effectively regulate dietary supplements that may pose safety risks unknown to consumers.”

"dismal safety record"- what a crock of shit that is. It's the companies with safety issues. they pollute the water, they pollute the food, the FDA is there to catch it and punish those responsible or who do not comply with regulations. THey can't possibly monitor every food/drug producing site 24/7.
As I've mentioned, when it comes to drugs, there is not a medication out there without a side effect or that can harm a tiny percentage of people. tHat's the nature of our complex biology and interactions of drugs with differing genomes, diets, medicaitons, diseases, etc.
And they should regulate the herbal medicine rackets.That's what they are since they don't need to prove anything. THey can make claims that this herb does this or that, without any testing to prove it does anything over a placebo, like pharmaceuticals must go under. THey don't know how those herbs will interact with medication and other things
