3. There have been all sorts of stories about people getting their
Edited on Tue Jun-20-06 06:25 AM by FloridaPat
septic tanks cleaned out and the vitamins they took are in there still intact. Other reports are that the amount of stuff in them aren't accurate, as they pointed out.

And why are they concerned about the safety of these products? Is there a "formal, mandatory, adverse-event reporting system for dietary supplements" for all the perscription pills? I'd like to see that myself.

As for eating healthy, several years ago someone did a study of veggies and found they was 75% less vitamins than in the 1920's. And last year they were down again to around 50%.

This is not big rocket science. This stuff could be sent to a lab and the results published far and wide. Those that don't have what's in the bottle won't be bought. The main question is - why is there so little ethics, morality, and truth in advertising? Why are the American public so gullible without any proof? And why is the American public so stupid as to keep taking pills that have no effect on them?
