Om Nom Nom Lead

[Vene]

Just a quick quote (not sure if this is the best place for the topic, but whatever).

Nearly all of the herbal dietary supplements tested in a Congressional investigation contained trace amounts of lead and other contaminants, and some supplement sellers made illegal claims that their products can cure cancer and other diseases, investigators found.

The levels of heavy metals — including mercury, cadmium and arsenic — did not exceed thresholds considered dangerous, the investigators found. However, 16 of the 40 supplements tested contained pesticide residues that appeared to exceed legal limits, the investigators found. In some cases, the government has not set allowable levels of these pesticides because of a paucity of scientific research.

Any product that claims to treat, cure, prevent or mitigate a disease is considered a drug and must go through strict regulatory reviews.

reminds me of Dara O'Brien

herbal  medicine's been around for thousands of years!' Indeed it has, and then we tested it all, and the stuff that worked became 'medicine', and the rest of it is just a nice bowl of soup and some potpourri, so knock yourselves out.

I'm going to be hopefully for a minute and take it that this investigation means that Congress is finally getting serious about supplement quacks. It's about fucking time. They've been getting away with murder for the last 15 years or so. Now, if only we could have them get rid of NCCAM and investigate Amway we'd be set.
