No I didn't. But the WTO didn't prevent it, either. That's the point I'm contesting.

Remember, people remember what the FDA tried to do with supplements years ago. It took an act of Congress to reign them in. There is a precedent for the skepticism behavior, imo. Nowadays, we have Supreme Court Justices that refer to internatioal law when making decisions. Is it that much of a leap?

" In the past, FDA has repeatedly attempted to define dietary supplements as drugs or food additives and subsequently remove them from the market. The legislation defines a dietary supplement as any product which contains one or more dietary ingredients such as a vitamin, mineral, herb or other botanical, amino acid or other ingredient used to supplement the diet. The legislation makes it clear that these products may not be regulated as food additives or drugs under most circumstances."
