Drugs peddled by the Drug Industry—Buyer Beware

[353FMG]

Most drugs are peddled by MDs

Comparing vitamins to pharmaceuticals is just plain foolish. Sophisticated chemical compounds designed to combat complex diseases are not analogous to vitamins and other supplements in any way.

Unlike with prescription and over-the-counter drugs, dietary supplements do not have to be proven safe or effective before they can be marketed. They can make any claim they want to make about their product and don't even have to include a list of ingredients or the quantity of biologically active ingredients in each dose. But those supplement guys aren't like big bad pharma guys now, are they? They wouldn't lie about the efficacy of their product. And I'm certain, that with them, you're getting exactly what you pay for.

Sure.
