This law should be passed. Most of the "supplements" on the market are no better than the snake oil of old, benefitting only the manufacturers and sellers. I'd like someone to tell me what "supports" means, as in "supports prostate health." Sheer quackery. Sorry, gang.

You're trusting the wrong sources of information. Sorry, guy.

B.S.... and even my husbands Urologist told him that tests have proven SawPalmetto works for both BPH and elevated PSA levels....he advised my husband to take it and it did lower his PSA significantly.

Nonsense.

Ephedra worked so well it got banned.
Creatine works.

How about multi-vitamins? Branch Chain Aminos? All proven to work.

What about freedom of choice, something we conservatives are supposed to be all for? If someone would rather go to a heath food store than a pharmacy what business is it of anyone else? It's their body.

Plenty of alternative therapies have proven useful in controlled, double blind studies. Others have not. Plenty of prescription medications have had to be removed from the market after proving to be harmful, so FDA approval is no guarantee of anything.

I trust consumers a lot more than I trust the likes of Dick Durbin and the proponents of the cradle-to-grave Nanny State to make intelligent choices about what to put into their bodies. The last thing we should do is allow socialists more power over our personal lives.
