Dietary Supplement Safety Act

Doesn't Section 4 make the proposed new definition of an anabolic steroid (U.S.) sound like almost every supplement a bodybuilder would use, including protein powder?

b) CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ACT-

(1) DEFINITION OF ANABOLIC STEROID- Section 102(41)(A) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802(41)(A)) is amended--

(A) by striking `that promotes muscle growth, and includes--' and inserting `that promotes muscle growth or is advertised or used to promote muscle growth.

If this is happening in the U.S., I can see the day when animal protein will be considered an anabolic steroid in Canada.

the act or my questioning the wording?

They could never accuse something you squeeze out of an animal to be an anabolic steroid. Could they? like whey, casein and shit?

 

[CanadianCripple]

Well my container of whey & creatine both claim to "promote muscle growth".

I figure 'they' can ban anything 'they' want. If allowed.

Animals produce testosterone, and that is classified as an anabolic steroid.

Cool. I had a feeling my grandmother was on steroids. I called her on it when I saw her starting to get jacked. She kept claiming it was just cell-tech and nitro-tech!!!!
