- An overemphasis on the potential risks of taking nutrition supplements while downplaying the benefits of supplements. Mister said this one-sided presentation contrasts with the way FDA speaks about other categories it regulates, such as cosmetics, medical devices, and traditional food.
- Missed opportunities to address public health issues with responsible use of nutritional supplements.
- Failure to communicate the robust regulatory framework that is already in place to give FDA authority over supplements...an omission that Mister said leaves a misimpression that regulation is inadequate.
- The opportunity to enhance the content of future messaging in collaboration with the natural products industry.
