Evaluation of Biomarkers and Surrogate Endpoints in Chronic Disease

This new report, from the Institute of Medicine, discusses how food manufacturers make health claims for many products and recommends that the FDA adopt a rigorous scientific process to evaluate biomarkers and vet these claims.

These series of briefings were for members of Congress and congressional staff only. The report was publicly released on May 12, 2010 and can be found, in its entirety, on the Web site of the National Academies Press.
