Senator McCain has filed a new bill that attacks your access to supplements and would repeal key sections of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act.

According to the Alliance for Natural Health USA, the bill is named The Dietary Supplement Safety Act (DSSA). DSSA would repeal key sections of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) and significantly diminish access to a broad range of dietary supplements. If passed it's likely that the FDA will have greater authority and oversight over dietary supplements.
