 This is strikingly evident in the realm of regulation. One can think of the Titanic and its impact on the regulation of radio communications at sea, of typhoid epidemics and their impact on the regulation of drinking water, of mine cave-ins and their regulation of mining. One can think of asbestos. This entire Report has been an exercise in learning from the asbestos experience and discerning the lessons it teaches about health hazards and their regulation.27
The scientific case against asbestos is no longer debated. |

 If mildly increasing metabolism, enhancing fat burning, and decreasing the tendency to store fat isn't compelling enough, another significant role that green tea can play in weight gain or loss is related to its effect on insulin regulation. Insulin is a hormone that in addition to being essential to the regulation and use of blood sugar for energy plays a critical role in fat storage. This powerful hormone plays an important role therefore in weight regulation and research has shown that green tea does in fact have an impact on insulin regulation. |

 Since I am Canadian, I first approached our Provincial Ministry of Agriculture in 1991 about pet food regulation in Canada. I learned that the "Labeling Act," only states that the pet food label must contain the name and address of the company, the weight of the product, and if it is made for a dog or cat. No other Canadian regulations exist. That was, and continues to be, the extent of government regulation of pet foods in Canada as of 2002. |

 One high-level researcher, who prefers to talk off the record, cautions that, without proper oversight and improved regulation, we may well see more such food- and additive-related clusters in the future, both in epidemic and sporadic form. The FDA itself has rather lax regulations for food products. And many of our food products are now imported from countries where regulations are even more lenient. This researcher plays out a frightening scenario that he hopes never to see. "Let's say a manufacturer decides to change how they manufacture a food-coloring additive in a children's cereal. |

 The prevailing philosophy then and today is that we can control chemical toxins like DDT through regulation. Now, I know that this is completely wrong in the sense that regulating our toxic inputs into the environment actually legitimizes environmental degradation. Even with regulation, no one knew about the phenomenon of bio-magnification [whereby compounds become magnified as they are ingested up the food chain and found in biological tissues in ever increasing concentrations]. It is false comfort to presume that if we put into place certain regulations that these will solve problems. |
| More than regulation, there has to be a transformation that moves more deeply into the human psyche, and that is almost religious in consciousness changing. It has to be reflected in science, business, industry, and economics and how and what we accrue value.
The mistake all of us make—but particularly those who craft regulations—is to think of the environment as something that is out there. In truth, whatever we do we are doing to ourselves. We are the environment. We breathe the air. We drink the water. We consume foods from the earth. We are the earth, water, and air. |

 Weight regulation is Natural
Weight loss occurs spontaneously when the natural weight regulation mechanisms are restored. Excessive body weight is a symptom of disturbed digestion and metabolism. In addition, it is a sign of chronic toxicity in the body. Trying to remove the symptom (excessive weight) can turn out to be very harmful and disappointing if the accumulated toxins are not removed first. |

 Because of a lack of regulation and oversight, not all supplements are created equally You need to be aware that supplements and other types of natural formulas and remedies are not monitored and controlled in a way that has the public's best interest at heart. No matter how flawed the FDA approval process has become, supplement companies do not have to go through the same approval process as prescription drugs and they are not held to the same standards. The FDA regulates dietary supplements under a different set of regulations than prescription drugs or food items. |

 On the other hand, do we need more regulation for nutritional supplements in this country? There are, after all, some con artists out there selling products. I don't think we need new regulations. I think we just need to enforce the existing laws. You see, this particular problem I investigated and reported on was not a supplement-regulation problem; this was a criminal problem. This was a con artist problem, and if we enforce the laws we have right now, we can get these people off the internet and out of business, and we can help protect the integrity of the nutritional supplements industry. |

 There's a possibility that [down the line], we'll have regulation of junk food marketing to kids." (We'll cover the Big Tobacco comparisons soon, in the next chapter.)
"Self-regulation by corporations has clearly failed. Corporations should not be the guardians of public health," adds Linn, associate director of the Media Center at Judge Baker Children's Center in Boston, Massachusetts.
Let's look now at some shocking marketing statistics:
The food industry spends at least $15 billion a year targeting children, according to the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (CCFC). |

 No regulation of "green" claims
Today, there is absolutely no regulation of claims of "green" or "Earth friendly" products in the U.S. marketplace. Manufacturers can essentially print anything they want on their products, and there's no requirement that such claims reflect reality.
Some certification companies are trying to change all that, but none have yet achieved a critical mass of consumer recognition. GreenSeal is one such organization (www.GreenSeal. |
| Many products that carry "green" claims may in fact be slightly less damaging to the environment in one particular and narrowly-defined way, but if you look at the overall product and consider where it came from, how it was manufactured and what impact it will have downstream, you'll realize it's actually quite harmful to the environment.

| This lack of regulation and monitoring by the FDA on behalf of consumers could be responsible for a host of problems now being encountered by diabetics.
If the rDNA insulin product is not folded exactly right; if there are miscellaneous incomplete strands or folds of insulin; if undetermined protein products remain in the mixture; if there is miscellaneous E. coli products from the cultural process...all these "ifs" portend problems for unprotected diabetics. The FDA needs to get its act together and start protecting millions of insulin-using diabetics. |
| Over-the-counter generic medications and supplements in all forms that preclude FDA regulation should have warning labels added. The number of deaths caused by over-the-counter medications in combination with prescription drugs would be comparable to the number of lives lost if a 747 airliner fell out of the sky every day.

 Phytoplankton are responsible for the production of a major portion of the earth's oxygen as well as the regulation of our atmosphere. Through photosynthesis, phytoplankton utilize chlorophyll and light to release oxygen into water and, in the process, convert huge quantities of carbon dioxide into living matter.5 They also have the ability to convert sunlight, water, and minerals into amino acids, fatty acids, carbohydrates, and vitamins.
Until recently, phytoplankton were thought to be food for water creatures only. |

The scientific case against asbestos is no longer debated. While it is easy to portray the massive burden of lawsuits against asbestos companies as the result of overzealous lawyering, the truth is far more complex. The asbestos trials have released damning proof that the reason the record took so many years to fall into place had nothing to do with science and everything to do with the control of information. |
