As many of you know from reading previous posts here, the FDA has been fairly negative in their assessments of the health benefits of tea. In our opinions (as well as others) there is often more involved in their decisions than pure science. What many of you may not be aware of is that the FDA (with strong urging and backing from the medical establishment) has been actively attempting to regulate natural products, supplements and alternative medicine for quite some time.

Now, in one fell swoop, they just might accomplish it all. We urge all of you to read through the material in the following links as well as doing your own research. Here is a link to a site that gives you more information and provides an avenue to take action if you are so inclined. In addition, we would encourage you to read through the actual FDA Guidelines and judge for yourself. You have to read between the lines a little bit to really appreciate the full extent of what this bill could accomplish. For one, I believe it is entirely conceivable that tea (and certainly EGCG) could be classified as a drug in some instances.

If you see the writing on the wall (as we do), we would strongly encourage you to notify as many people as you can to act now and notify the FDA that we won’t allow them to take away our options that provide us with healthier and more natural choices for our personal health and wellness.
