In absolute terms, that He cautions, however, that the new findings are only suggestive. To prove that vitamin Dand not some other related factoris responsible for the lung benefits, researchers must conduct a large experiment in which half of the participants are administered vitamin supplements or given supervised sun exposures and half aren't, Black says. Until then, he adds, it's too early to advocate vitamin D supplements for the sake of people's lungs. On the other hand, he adds, there are many other reasonsbone health, for instancefor making sure to get plenty of the sunshine vitamin.

Continental Divide Newsweek - Nov 12, 2005 "The region has more people with inadequate nutrition, more living in slum conditions and "But we need to keep in mind that the absolute number of poor living By the numbers, Asia is home to seven in 10 of humanity's poor-about 700 million people-who subsist on $1 a day or less. Even more people dangle one rung up the socioeconomic ladder, earning just $2 a day per capita. In all, about 1.9 billion Asians live at or below that global poverty line. Put another way, Asia's impoverished masses now exceed the region's total population at the end of World War II. Sadly, that fact is often obscured by Africa-centric humanitarian efforts to end hunger and provide debt relief. "That's not to say it isn't critical to deal with the poverty problem in sub-Saharan Africa," argues Roy Prosterman, chairman emeritus of the Seattle, Washington-based Rural Development Institute. "But we need to keep in mind that the absolute number of poor living under $1 or $2 a day is substantially greater in Asia than in Africa."

Calcium and Colon/Rectal, Breast, and Prostate Cancers and Food Consumer, IL - Nov 2, 2005 biological roles and also asserted that there is an absolute lack of no food ingredients that have prior-sanctioned status for nutrition supplement purposes
We considered but rejected use of a disclaimer or qualifying language to accompany the proposed claims for calcium and a reduced risk of breast cancer and prostate cancer. We concluded that neither a disclaimer nor qualifying language would suffice to prevent consumer deception in these instances, where there is no credible evidence to support the claims. Adding a disclaimer or incorporating qualifying language that effectively characterizes the claim as baseless is not a viable regulatory alternative because neither the disclaimer nor the qualifying language can rectify the message conveyed by the unsubstantiated claim. See, e.g., In re Warner-Lambert Co., 86 F.T.C. 1398, 1414 (1975), aff'd, 562 F.2d 749 (D.C. Cir. 1977) (pro forma statements of no absolute prevention followed by promises of fewer colds did not cure or correct the false message that Listerine will prevent colds); Novartis Consumer Health, Inc. v. Johnson & Johnson-Merck Consumer Pharms. Co., 290 F.3d 578, 598 (3d Cir. 2002) ("We do not believe that a disclaimer can rectify a product name that necessarily conveys a false message to the consumer."); Pearson v. Shalala, 164 F.3d 650, 659 (D.C. Cir 1999) (the court stated that, where the weight of evidence was against the claim, FDA could rationally conclude that the disclaimer "The FDA has determined that no evidence supports this claim" would not cure the misleadingness of a claim). In such a situation, adding a disclaimer or qualifying language does not provide additional information to help consumer understanding but merely contradicts the claim. Resort Car Rental System, Inc. v. FTC, 518 F.2d 962, 964 (9th Cir.) (per curiam) (upholding FTC order to excise "Dollar a Day" trade name as deceptive because "by its nature [it] has decisive connotation for which qualifying language would result in contradiction in terms."), cert denied, 423 U.S. 827 (1975); Continental Wax Corp. v. FTC, 330 F.2d 475, 480 (2d Cir. 1964) (same); Pasadena Research Labs v. United States, 169 F.2d 375 (9th Cir. 1948) (discussing "self-contradictory labels"). In the FDA context, courts have repeatedly found such disclaimers ineffective. See, e.g., United States v. Millpax, Inc., 313 F.2d 152, 154 & n.1 (7th Cir. 1963) (disclaimer stating that "no claim is made that the product cures anything, either by the writer or the manufacturer" was ineffective where testimonials in a magazine article promoted the product as a cancer cure); United States v. Kasz Enters., Inc., 855 F. Supp. 534, 543 (D.R.I.) ("The intent and effect of the FDCA in protecting consumers from . . . claims that have not been supported by competent scientific proof cannot be circumvented by linguistic game-playing."), judgment amended on other grounds, 862 F. Supp. 717 (1994).
