FROM : Steve Wallach
American Longevity
Re: Selenium Health Claim Petition
Date: July 11, 2002

American Longevity is pleased to announce the filing of a health claim petition with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) asking the agency to permit use of two health claims on labels and in labeling of dietary supplements containing selenium :

Selenium may reduce the risk of certain cancers.

Selenium may produce anticarcinogenic effects in the body.

A copy of the press release for the filing is attached.

American Longevity shall post on its website [www.americanlongevity.net], on the News webpage, copies of the petition and the accompanying scientific report of Philip D. Whanger, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus at Oregon State Univeristy, a biochemist and nutritionist. Distributors may direct interested parties to those documents.

Distributors must not use the health claims on labels or in the promotion or sale of any American Longevity products until American Longevity announces that they have been approved for that use. Distributors must not discuss the pending health claim petitions in connection with the promotion or the sale of American Longevity products.

Any failure to adhere to those restrictions may jeopardize the pending petition and shall be considered a violation of the distributor?s contract with American Longevity.
