FDA to legalize megavitamins A C and D
SAN FRANCISCO AP The FDA will move to legalize megavitamins such as vitamins A C and D following a court ruling in favor of Linus Pauling and others challenging the agency. FDA attorney Jay Geller noted restrictions would hinge on toxicity, while examining public misperceptions and disagreements from eminent scientists about the regulation. Pauling argued vitamin C prevents colds and aids immune function, citing decades of tests showing cures for hepatitis and other benefits though skeptics dispute his claims.
