``(ii) A substance shall not be considered to be a drug or hormonal

``(I) is--
``(aa) an herb or other botanical;
``(bb) a concentrate, metabolite, or extract of, or a

or
``(cc) a combination of 2 or more substances described in
item (aa) or (bb);
``(II) is a dietary ingredient for purposes of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.); and
``(III) is not anabolic or androgenic."

This section is what causes a lot of concern for folks in the industry
Agreed the legal aspect will be looked into first and foremost. Spoke to a few guys regarding this and thought speaking to Eric might be the best initial bet.

This bill, effectively "bans" food/protein/numerous other basic items if you want to interpret it as such. Food being the most anabolic product on earth and producing muscle gains, etc.. Monsanto..also Bovine growth hormone, used in cows, which we then consume. If this bill leaves open to interpretation to Attorneys and Judges and Court, then where does it end.Mind you I am being sarcastic to a degree..but truthfully does this bill is so broad, they can "attempt" to do anything they want.

It will take a Supreme Court Decision or someone challenging a pharmaceutical companies products that fall within this category.

Basically the bill says, we can make things up as we go and criminalize individuals as we so choose.

Anyways, you guys are awesome. Great feedback.

Cosmetic Sunscreen. I like that. Ty everyone. Follow up with this asap.
