Executive Summary
SUPPLEMENT "NUTRITIONAL" CLAIMS TO REDUCE RISK OF DISEASE SUGGESTED as a viable alternative to claims that dietary supplements cure, prevent, treat or mitigate disease under the Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act, D.C. attorney Stephen McNamara said at the NutraPack '98 conference in Anaheim, Calif.
