The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, continuing its campaign of censorship against truthfully-described herbal supplements, seized $71,000 worth of Charantea herbal supplements last week in a raid involving U.S. Marshals.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, there is no such thing as an herb, food or supplement that has any biological activity whatsoever on the human body

and any person who dares to make such a claim is immediately considered to be in violation of the FDA's authority

The FDA is well known for its censorship efforts against nutritional supplements.

While the FDA claims it raided the Charantea company in order to protect consumers from mislabeled products, the truth is that the agency

is far more interested in protecting the market for pharmaceuticals.

Herbal tea products that effectively lower blood sugar are seen as competition for high-profit diabetes drugs.

When will medical tyranny finally be stopped in this "free" country?
