[freedumb2003]

My Dr. noted that there is not a single double blind scientific study ever performed that show vitamin supplements do a damn thing.

It was such a good idea to de-industrialize America so that DemoRat ultra rich Fascists and Socialists could fill their pockets.

Worst of all they don’t do a damn thing except give users expensive pee.

YThis is a matter I took up with Trader Joe’s too.

And, of course, there are no country of orgin labeling requirements to inform consumers where the actual nutrients in their supplements were produced.

If I don’t trust China to make treats for my dog why would I trust them to make vitamins for me?

It’s not pretty much proven that vitamins provide NO HEALTH BENEFITS if you eat a reasonably balanced diet (nothing special...but eat more than just pork, for example).

So if the Chinese want to ply us with contaminated pills, no skin off my back.

Blueberry and Bilberry extract ". . . one extract obtained from China . . . measured anthocyanin content of 24% when analyzed using the simple spectrophotometric method . . the same extract was analyzed with a more sophisticated HPLC method, only 9% anthocyanins were found. Further testing by HPLC, mass spectroscopy (MS), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) confirmed that the “bilberry powdered extract” from China was adulterated with the napththylazo sulfonic acid dye known as amaranth dye . . . also known as the coloring agent FD&C Red No. 2, or, more commonly, as Red Dye No. 2, was banned by FDA in 1976 due to its suspected carcinogenicity."

Many prescription drugs are also produced in China, particularly the generics. (Not sure if the article mentioned that.)

Polluted irrigation water is putting it mildly. Toxic is the word. Seriously.

Where do I get the China-made vitamins laced with melamine? Is melamine a supplement?

The Chinese manufactured Ascorbic Acid 25Kg boxes in my workplace is Kosher. The rabbi will inspect for the symbols when he is present too.
