Interesting how the diseases that plague our world today are always on the increase, never on the decrease.

Vitamins C and B5 ( ascorbic acid and pantothenic acid respectively) are also labeled as food additives, as well as Vitamins A-K.

This in of itself is an FDA contradiction when you look at a large range of current FDA- approved food additives that have been shown as increased risk factors of major diseases such as cancer.

Both food additives have shown an increase in bladder cancer and lymphomasleukemias respectively in laboratory rats.

In both these cases, the question of whether these may or may not contribute to cancer was dismissed.

The FDA regulates food, drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, biologics, and radiation-emitting products.

The Food Additives Amendment to the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which was passed by Congress in 1958, requires the FDA to approve food additives, including artificial sweeteners, before they can be made available for sale in the United States.

However, this legislation does not apply to products that are generally recognized as safe.

Such products do not require FDA approval before being marketed.

Information available to us indicates that there has been no identity established for a substance characterized by the name pangamic acid (or Vitamin B-15).

The chemical structure and nature of such a substance has not been definitely determined.

In addition, we are not aware of any accepted scientific evidence which establishes the nutritional properties of pangamic acid or which has identified a deficiency of this substance in man or animals.

We are also unaware of a suitable specific analytical method for its determination.

A similar product, containing a mixture of calcium gluconate and dimethyl glycene, has been promoted as the building blocks of calcium pangamate, a salt of the so-called Vitamin B-15.

Pangamic acid has historically been promoted as a treatment for cancer, along with other disease conditions.

If pangamic acid is offered for such purposes, it would be considered a drug and require clearance under the new drug provisions of the Act.

Since pangamic acid has no approved new drug application it must also be considered a new drug without an approved new drug application.

You see, there are two Acts (amendments) that need to be considered here.

Conveniently, if any vitamin proves to cure a disease or condition, apparently it must immediately fall under the category of a drug.

Why Well, cant you smell the dollar bills Simply, read the issue surrounding Vitamin B6.

Can you remember the last time you ate any of these vital foods.

Even as recently as the 1950s electric shock treatment and lobotomies were considered state of the art technologies.

With the mechanism of development of so many major diseases still unknown, again, how can we be so arrogant with what we think we know.
