    Well, when the E. coli gets to working you soon forget about

    Truman stated:
    
     "The supplement industry
    cannot claim that their supplement in fact does such and
    such."
    
    Actually, at least as far as the state livestock feed laws
    are concerned,
    that may or may not be the case.  Some restrict the
    restrictions (say that
    five times real fast) on claims to the labels only while
    some are much
    tougher, including restrictions on oral claims by sales
    people and claims in
    marketing aids and ads.  The rest of the states are
    somewhere inbetween.
    
    It doesn't stop the human supplement market, either.  One
    company is
    claiming that their products can reverse multiple sclerosis,
    and also the
    same products can replace Ritalin in children with ADHD
    (makes no difference
    whether the type of ADHD is controllable with nutrition,
    either).  Oh, and
    it should be noted that to get the full effect one must use
    MULTIPLE
    products....which of course end up costing far more than the
    drug treatments
    for each disorder. To further complicate the issue, the
    people doing the
    selling are not trained in nutrition or medicine but are
    simply
    regurgitating whatever the current line of BS the company is
    pushing, which
    is usually made up of a few true nutritional facts
    surrounded by so much
    manure they ought to be subject to a nutrient management
    plan.
    
    True story that turned up today on a local tv station's
    website:  People in
    Alabama swear by manure tea as an herbal remedy for colds.
    How healthy can
    that be?  Yet this sort of stuff can be marketed because
    there is nothing to
    stop them.
    
    In essence, there are a lot of modern day alchemists out
    there, except
    instead of turning lead into gold they're turning cheap
    nutrients (and often
    dangerous compounds) and hype into cash for themselves.
