implies that Dietary Supplements are Safe Poison Control Centers’ New Data
implies that Dietary Supplements are Safe Murrieta, CA March 30, 2012 New
data has been released regarding the 28th Annual Report of the American
Association of Poison Control Centers. The report shows that there is a
‘wide margin of safety for dietary supplements’. The report is a
collection of data from 2010 that was reported through the Poison Control
Centers’ National Poison Data System (NPDS). Liquid Health’s CEO Brandon
Siggard, described the results as “positive and reassuring”. He said,
“The results from the 28th Annual Report of the American Association of
Poison Control Centers, is a welcomed response to some of the negative press
on supplements recently. This news is both positive and reassuring of our
efforts to help people become healthier.” He went on to say, “Although
this report shows the safety of the dietary supplement industry as a whole,
it is very important to try to take these results in context.“ It is
reported that about 50 percent of Americans use supplements. A study of close
to 20,000 participants showed these results. The study from the National
Institute of Health, Office of Dietary supplements [1] also showed that 20
percent of the adults in the study are taking a health supplement with at
least one botanical. The results of the study were published in the Journal
of Nutrition. In 1993, Senator Orrin G. Hatch, Republican of Utah, defended
herbal supplements in front of the Senate. He said, “[herbal
remedies]…have been on the market for centuries,'' he said, adding: ''In
fact, most of these have been on the market for 4,000 years, and the real
issue is risk. And there is not much risk in any of these products.'' The
Poison Control Center has kept detailed records and statistics on the reports
of poisonings for every kind of substance, which includes dietary
supplements. In 2007, the Poison Control Center reported no deaths associated
with multiple vitamins, b-vitamins [2], or from Vitamins A, C, D, or E. It
also reported that there were no deaths from any of these vitamin supplements
or any other vitamin in 2010. Dietary Supplements are defined and regulated
by the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) which was
passed by Congress. Under DSHEA health supplements are used with a common
goal to restore and/or maintain “structure and function” of the body.
