  • Because the FDA can't get money from supplements they are trying to get rid of them by lying about this issue. The FDA does more harm than good but nobody realizes it. They just want to sell you prescription drugs and won't tell you the safe and easy way to cure anything...

  • This is almost unbelievable!

    It is just amazing when you think about it. Last year no one died from a vitamin, herb, or nutrient of any type. ZERO DEATHS!

    On the other hand,according to the American Medical Association, FDA-approved drugs KILLED over 106,000 people last year who took the drugs as prescribed. Now that's the equivalent of 5 fully loaded jumbo jets crashing every week for 1 year. Do the research yourself. Don't trust these clowns.

  • @MonsterBoy8813 Wow, your comment cannot be more ignorant. The FDA doesn't look to get rid supplement companies, just to regulate them. Plus, the FDA doesn't sell prescription drugs.

  • @ARNJeremy

    The reason these deaths are masked are due to interactions with other medications that these patients are already on. Please make yourself familiar with Pharmacokinetic interactions involving enzymes in the liver. When patients are on FDA-regulated medications such as warfarin and attempt to tackle another health issue with a so-called "natural" supplement such as St. John's Wort or even Gingko then the patient's bleed risk increases.

  • These faggots bitch ass so called FDA govs. don't know a jack shit. Stick your heads up your ass before throwing out lies.

  • One consumer group ? The list goes on and on ? We just don't know ? Don't buy generics? What a load of poop they spew. The only good thing said was" buy made in the US.".....CBS stinks.

  • What a filthy couple of whores. Anything taken in excess can cause damage: Yeah man, I piss orange juice. Go to the Council of Responsible Nutrition's website for their list of member companies, Avon included! Yeah, we know what the coundil on "responsible" nutrition is: CORPORATIONS who want your money! Pieces of shit should be beaten to death! Those two TV bitches included!
