The supplement industry us totally unregulated. Totally opposite of the medical industry.
A manufacturer does not need to prove the product is safe. Kind of crazy.
I wish people would just take personal responsibility for what they put in their body, by not shoving strange pills down their throat without discussing the ingredients with their doctor or a health professional.
Also, if the heads of these companies would be found personally liable for knowingly putting unhealthy and/or doping ingredients in their products, this crap would stop, fast. Another example of an overblown nanny state. If their livelihoods were truly at stake (instead of hiding behind their bought gov't agencies), companies would have a huge incentive to keep crap like this off the market.
This. Again, if you are dumb enough to take a pill called PHUK or MIraculous Evil Root (also on the list), no amount of regulation is going to save you from yourself.
There are laws against huffing paint, has, and sniffing glue and people still do it. In fact, I bet the idiots that did that in high school
Are now buying this crap.
"In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway." T Durden
