Battie Looms On Nutrition Front U' \" far can the Unit d ý'-1States 'government go in crigwhat ai eadýing nutritionist has ,called "ýnuiti!onal nonsense"' A tu-ofwartest - possibiy recigeven to the courts-, is- ini the offing,. t revolves ar'ound som)1e of thle daims m iade today for 1the so- called "health foods"; thie promno- tion of certain food prodlucts on the basis of claimed bnft;and the ciaimed nutritional necessity for vrosvitamîin proýducts. Touching off the fray was a proposed new set of regulations, by the Food and Drug, Adm-inis- tration governing the labeieing of these products. t is the resýponsibility et ttiie agency to see that foods arepuire and safe and that they are truith- fully and informativeiy labl)eld. Ahl the new regulatins have to do with laheiing daimis. The $i,000,000,0û00induitry af- fected by thesesrign regulà- tions has declared war. Neyer before, it is said, has the È3ood and Drug Administration been bomnbarded by, so many pro- tests - more than 30,000 from industry, piling up into some 225 volumes, not 'to mention the 70,- 000 or more from posteards showered on Coagress. Producers of safflower o)il pro- duets, "sea saîts," and pr)ioteiný boosters were alarmned. Businiess- men who seil these products saw profits dwindling, wie Jose- phine Ripley in the 'Christian, Sciençe Monitor. The Food and Drug Adminis- tration finally issued a staiîeinent- of denial that the newv regula- tions would have or were intend- cd to-put people eut Of Ibusin-ess or cut, profits.

" t seeks to prevent consumers "from 'being misîcci by a listing of -ingredients wihicb have no ,value as food supplements. "Such 'shotgua' formulas now, contain as many as 50 to 70 in- gredients, only a fewý of which are recognized as essential in nutrition,"' says the ag-ency. The proposed reg-ulations aiso) are directed at "false or m-islead- iag labeliag which may lead con- sumners ta believe that flhe aver- ag merican diet resuits in iii bealth and that nutritional sup- piements are requiredi to preveat or cure this."
