bmart, will you discuss the exact wording and support your position, if you can... GOVERNMENT REGULATION. The manufacturing, processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of the Company's products are subject to regulation by one or more federal agencies, including the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the United States Department of Agriculture, the United States Postal Service, the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. These activities are also regulated by various agencies of the states and localities in which the Company's products are sold. In particular, the FDA regulates the safety, labeling and distribution of dietary supplements, including vitamins, minerals and herbs, food additives, food supplements, OTC and prescription drugs and cosmetics. The regulations that are promulgated by the FDA relating to the manufacturing process are known as Current Good Manufacturing Practices ("CGMPs"), and are <PAGE> different for drug and food products. (means different than prunes, oranges and carrots) In addition, the FTC has overlapping jurisdiction with the FDA to regulate the labeling, promotion and advertising of vitamins, OTC drugs, cosmetics and foods. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 ("DSHEA") was enacted on October 25, 1994. DSHEA amends the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act by defining dietary supplements which include vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements and herbs, as a new category of food separate from conventional food. (no carrots, oranges, and prunes) DSHEA provides a regulatory framework to ensure safe, quality dietary supplements and the dissemination of accurate information about such products. Under DSHEA, the FDA is generally prohibited from regulating the active ingredients in dietary supplements as drugs unless product claims, such as claims that a product may heal, mitigate, cure or prevent an illness, disease or malady, trigger drug status.
