What did they test? Store brands? Because they mention "Spring Valley" and I don't know if that is a WalMart brand or a nation wide brand.

I take kelp too.

My kelp is “Nature’s Way,” and my chlorophyll is GNC brand. (The label says it has alfalfa in it.) A quick search shows that Spring Valley products are sold at other discount retailers such as Walgreens.

I know their Tea Tree Oil has real tea tree in it: can’t mistake the smell or the tingle, and it cures everyone’s funguses.

"What did they test? Store brands? Because they mention "Spring Valley" and I don't know if that is a WalMart brand or a nation wide brand."

This raises the question of who is ULTIMATELY responsible. My impression is that a so-called "store brand" is actually manufactured by an independent company that has a deal with a retailer to put the retailers label on it. In other words, Wal-Mart and Walgreens aren't the ones manufacturing these products, they are the ones selling them.

Now, if independent research shows that the products are not what the manufacturers claim they are, the retailers should stop selling them, but isn't the real liability with the manufacturer?
