Ethics of health supplement marketing

Actually, this is essentially ILLEGAL! You see, the FDA does NOT have a "minimum requirement guidance", other than what can be called a supplement and maybe suggestions for the RDA which are NEVER followed to the letter and even most doctors say are inadequate. And NO supplement is FDA approved. They enjoy a SPECIAL status that is similar to a drug, but actually treated like a food.

JohnMcCabe is right. There is one ALL NATURAL product, for example, that has actually been refined for a drug and the DRUG is recognized and approved by the FDA. AND, if you take too much, or are sensitive to it, it can cause the EXACT symptoms you mention. It was used to make one stay awake, alert, have more energy, control appetite, and lose weight, etc.... It was actually GREAT! UNFORTUNATELY a LOT of people once used it in sports, etc... and pushed themselves to the limit. The supplement made that worse, and the FDA outlawed it. Apparenty they now have some loopholes, and it is back. THAT supplement was ephedra, AKA Ma Huang. Of course, CAFFEINE can do it, and there is a chinese herb for THAT also!

But DON'T go calling for FDA approval. They are trying to do that. In its strictest form, supplements would ********VANISH********! If you wanted them, they would need to be approved by the FDA which costs a LOT and companies would see NO return! and they would then need to be prescribed! ALREADY one form of vitamin B has VANISHED! Omega 3s might soon!

Not good advice at all.
Have you ever researched what the FDA really does?

There is an intellectual discussion to be had somewhere here. Is there such a thing as community / society responsibility up to a point or from your point of view every man or woman for themselves and the law of the jungle rules.

In that world there is no such thing S a scam .. Just people too stupid to realise that it is.

Interesting ... Could that be the very reason why romney lost?
