It is nice to know there's someone out there looking out for the consumer! That I think is the one area where the supplement industry has an edge, in that there are *lots* of sources of fairly solid info, once you somehow dodge the hucksters of course.

I can't speak to the supplement industry, but I know that even though the cosmetic industry is governed by the FDA, they have some wiggle room with the truth because they aren't selling their products as a medicine, which requires purpose and side effects to be spelled out fairly clearly.

I'm especially amused by shampoos that claim to "revive" dull hair - hair is dead! You can make it look better, but you can't REVIVE it!
