There are men available who can be called upon for help, but his own past experience should be enough to convince the President that he had best look for them beyond his present entourage. any nutritive value whatsoever. Truth is still a defense against a libel suit. But .it is no defense against application of this FDA decree. No one- may even present evidence that the listed claims are or could be true. Food would not only stop advertising for dietary ments but imposes fines and jail sentences on the authors and publishers of hundreds of books and articles connected with the growing movement for organic gardening and farming, which is carred on without the use of pesticides or artificial fertilizers, Virtually all material of this kind contains assertions often well documented that "inadequate or insufficient diet is due to ....the lack of minerals in, or fertility of, the soil in which food is grown."

Nothing nearly so sweeping or so authoritarian has been done even in the case of cigarette smoking, for despite example, widely publicized evidence that it is a primary cause of lung cancer. By contrast, there is no claim even by the FDA or other of its new regulations that vitamin and mineral dietary supplements, unless consumed in enormous and unheard-o- f quantities, can do any harm.
