This is an argument against offshoring/outsourcing, not against supplements.
Oh, I forgot. Free trade benefits everyone.
Screw Congress, screw the FDA.
It was *supposed* to have been your job to prevent this kind of sh*t in the first place.
Vermin.
How is this an argument against outsourcing again ?
Like they've not been wanting to regulate vitamins for decades.
Do concerns ever shrink?
Not if we fight em. Why are we just giving up? Obama is not our destiny.

The last one I heard this week was somone who had 3 brain surgeries with stents in the brain and come to find out her problem was the drugs she was taking.
Unfortunately, this is not an extreme case. What in the heck is wrong with doctors, pharmacists, pharmaceutical companies and he FDA?
I will never take a drug unless it is an extreme emergency. I have seen the damage and I have seen the benefits of nutritional supplements.
This reporter hasn't got a clue what she is talking about. How did tryptophan disappear from the shelves if FDA didnt have the power to ban it?
The agency can remove any harmful product from the market. In fact it can remove safe products from the market by claiming them to be harmful with the flimsiest of evidence.
These bureacRATS have all the power they need. Heaven help us if they get more.
Probably quite a bit... from the pharmaceutical industry. The Clinton regime was the one that tried to pass the Codex Alimentarius into law and give the FDA complete power over all foods and supplements. The only reason they failed and the DSHEA was passed was because of the furious grass roots reaction of the public. The hue and cry raised forced congresstards into passing the DSHEA in order to protect the public from the avaricious clutches of the FDA/BigPharma (but I repeat myself).
Might be a little wise to do some basic research before posting a knee jerk reaction without knowing the facts. I hate the Clinton admin as much as anyone, but the DSHEA wasn't one of their doing- quite the contrary.
Read a few more of the responses on this thread and get enlightened. Especially the link to the Codex info. The FDA has all the draconian power it needs, it doesn't need to be given any more.
Cheers!
The goal of the deadly globalists is to decrease the health benefits available that are uncontrolled.
Yep. The objective is to put us completely at the mercy of government healthcare authorities with no deviation at any time, making us vulnerable to whatever they dish out.
The only possible silver lining to this is that the lefties love their supplements also, perhaps even more that we do, and will not roll over for this either. Perhaps some will awaken from their hypnosis.
They are happy to kill their own, too.
The elite expect to be well buffered against illness and calamities engineered for the rest of humanity.
And to have a select group of slaves/surfs to help them enjoy the ‘national park-like’ planet once they get it re-landscaped with most signs of man erased.
Of course, they aren’t planning on GOD’S TRASHING their plans.
There is that. I "was into" vitamins and protein powder and and and far ahead of the curve. Friends thought I was the agent of leftwing weirdness. One even sent me a letter stating she would not allow vitamins in her house, as "General Mills knows what is good for us." Yep. And she died of lung cancer at a much too early age.
Nevertheless, I'm very worried about Codex Alimentarius creeping up on us incrementally.
herbal supplement banning and the EU ping
