Description
This book documents the long, still ongoing battle between the US Food and Drug Administration and the dietary supplement industry. It presents the complex, often subtle, and sometimes overlooked series of events that had a major impact on how dietary supplements are manufactured, marketed, sold, and used today. While the first few chapters focus on some background topics, the remaining chapters walk the reader through timeline of events, legislative actions, FDA proposed and final rules, and judicial decisions that led to our current dietary supplement regulatory framework. Interwoven in narrative are examples of the roles of science, social and public policy, politics, and popular media.
Reviews
The text is very readable, clear and well crafted and pitched at the level which a clinician would appreciate. The layout is logical and the depth is detailed and yet understandable. This would make a good reference source for a wide range of health care professionals which could span both primary and secondary care.
really good
This book is relevant for any delivering provider in labor and delivery and would be suitable for residents and physicians in obstetrics and for midwives. This book might benefit from a deeper dive into the actual performance of these techniques.” (Barbara Hoffman, Doody’s Book Reviews, May 1, 2020)
