"Something to keep our eyes out for"

So this is quasi ISO 9001:2000 standarding that has is has been fed to everyone for the past 12 years?

Thank you for posting the informative articles from Quackwatch. After reading them I fervently hope these "health food" stores, vitamins come under some kind of control!
By the way read the article on the GNC/health food store workers at Quackwatch. It's a hoot.
I do agree we should not be under the laws of the UN/EU tho.

First they came for ephedra.

Then they came for andro.

But I didn't object because I wasn't an athlete.

Thank you for posting the informative articles from Quackwatch.

I don't doubt that a lot of that stuff is junk, but not all. It's a matter of freedom.

You know what, I love to get as pissed off as any one else and being a vegetarian and concerned about my health, this had me going for a good half an hour or so.

Then I started doing my research.

S722 was introduced and passed in 2003 - it banned supplements such as Ma Huang, steroid precursors, etc. It was called the "supplement safety act" of 2003 or some such nonsense like that.

HR 3377 doesn't exist.

I went onto a German drugstore site (I speak German) and found a nice vitamin C + Zinc supplement for €3.48 (that's about $4.50 with the American dollar being tanked these days). It wasn't $52.00

The information that I could find on CODEX is all dated from 2002 or 2003 - nothing is current.

Can someone point me in a direction so that I can actually do some real research? I'm concerned, but not a lemming.

Thanks,
