Executive Summary
DSHEA DISCLAIMER MAY BE UNNECESSARY FOR "CLASSICAL" STRUCTURE/FUNCTION CLAIMS, National Nutritional Foods Association legal counsel Anthony Young suggested at the group's Feb. 29 symposium on statements of nutritional support. Young, of the Washington, D.C. law firm Piper & Marbury, asserted that "we need to step back a moment and look at where dietary supplements have been before we impose a disclaimer requirement on all supplements when it may only be appropriate for some."
