“Supplement Regulation To Get Much Worse” ???
I think you meant to say:
“Supplement Regulation to get much BETTER” !!!
I welcome the proper scrutiny of your unregulated products that you “claim” provide amazing, unproven “benefits” without any testing to ensure they are not unhealthy or downright dangerous to one’s well being! I find it HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS that you are so against and AFRAID of actual Scientific, Clinical study! That says quite a lot about your so-called “supplements” doesn’t it?
The trolls are out early today……
KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF SUPPLEMENTS. BIG PHARMA WANTS US TO BE DEPENDENT ON THEIR TOXIC DRUGS FROM BIRTH TO DEATH. THEY ARE FRANTIC THAT AMERICANS ARE CATCHING ON TO THEIR MONOPOLY THAT KEEPS THEIR CASH REGISTERS RINGING. LOOK AT WHAT OPIOIDS ARE DOING AND THAT’S THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.
There are no more highly regulated items than US pharmaceuticals. Yet, law suits prove that deaths and illness result from them. Regularion does little except to hand over power and control and make money. Leave my supplements UN-regulated.
There are reputable supplement companies that have done clinical research and proven – yes proven- that supplements ( good supplements) work.
You are one of the con-Trolls aren’t you?! I make my own educated choices as to whether or not a given supplement will or won’t help the condition I’m choosing to use it for. Freedom to Choose. Not the freedumb to take that which a profiteering industry says I should take and take and take… If you’re too blind, stupid or dense to see the problem then by all means do as you are told by the almighty pharmaceutical wizards.
