FDA Commissioner Pushing For Better Nutrition.

reported Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb “is pushing for less salt in food, more nutrition information on labels and innovative ways to communicate healthy ways of eating.” In an interview, Gottlieb said, “We spend a lot of time at the FDA on new technologies – cell and gene base therapies, regenerative medicine – that have curative potential and there is a lot of public health opportunity from what we’re seeing in the pipeline. But when you think of where we’re going to have the most dramatic public health impact, it’s going to be getting back to the public health basics, trying to sharply reduce smoking rates, trying to improve diets and trying to increase vaccination rates.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/04/06/fda-chief-scott-gottlieb-pushes-lower-sodium-better-labels-reduce-disease-obesity/493138002/
