I will do a post soon explaining from a legal perspective how to read a report the FDA recently released regarding a controversial supplement.
I had to consider long and hard how to approach this topic, because I was first of all not sure if people needed the education (or wanted it) OR, if people already had an understanding of certain aspects of legalese that I was not aware of.
I don’t think the latter is what is going on, but unfortunately part of the former…people not wanting to know…is an affliction that many, especially in America, are stricken with.
I will draw upon my approximately ten years of both college and private study on how the words are really explained, what is attempting to be conveyed versus what is ACTUALLY being said.
It is this differentiation that people are too often completely missing. The words are written in just such a way as to present a legal stance, more so than any kind of layperson stance of actually being informative and helpful to the average individual.
It is this nearly word-trickery, that angers those who understand the difference.
If one does NOT understand the difference, assumption after assumption is made about what an FDA report claims, or what side effect profiles mean, what various medicine or supplement studies really mean, and the list goes on and on.
Once a person understands that everything boils down to liabilities…and why everything does…a whole new world of understanding opens up about the nature of what is being presented.
More coming soon.
