From GNC:
---------------
WE NEED YOUR HELP.
YOUR SUPPLEMENTS ARE IN JEOPARDY.
Exaggerated press reports about the effects of ephedra have led some legislators to propose extreme solutions that would all but eliminate the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) and allow, if not encourage, the FDA to regulate supplements like pharmaceuticals.
This means you could lose access to many of the supplements that you take regularly.
Don't Delay.

You can also send a letter/e-mail to your Congress representative to voice your disapproval.
Proposed Senate Bill 722 would dramatically alter the current marketplace and every dietary supplement would be at the mercy of government bureaucrats who are notoriously anti-supplement. S.722 would give the FDA the power to disapprove the continued marketing of any supplement for which even one adverse event report is received.
The burden of proof provision in DSHEA was specifically crafted to insure that the FDA could not eliminate supplements simply by taking an arbitrary position that a supplement was unsafe. S. 722 is an attempt to amend DSHEA so that the FDA can do exactly just that.
