It's pretty amazing that people will go to great lengths to buy organic
or safer foods and then not even question the source of the supplements
that they buy frequently to the tune of hundreds of dollars a month.
Minerals, vitamins, herbs any and all of these can be contaminated. How
many of us that buy organic even know to check that the supplements we
pay so dearly for are from an organic or pure source, or even where they
come from.
Best to get your nutrients from whole organic or locally grown foods
where you know the person that grew the food. Often less than 10% of
what we would be taking in supplement form is needed when we obtain the
nutrients from food due to the higher bioavailability of the nutrient in
food. Much of this is due to the matrix of nutrients in a food that
enhance the absorption and utilization. Silicon for instance enhances
both the absorption and utilization of Calcium and Magnesium. When
obtained from food sources these minerals are in a different form than
when taken as an isolated or synthesized supplement.

The NY times has a report this morning about China exporting
diethylene glycol marked as 99.5% glycerine:

or http://www.iht. com/articles/ 2007/05/05/ news/06poison. php
<http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/05/05/news/06poison.php>
The "glycerine" is mixed into cough syrups and other liquid
pharmaceuticals, and when ingested ...
"The kidneys fail first. Then the central nervous system begins to
misfire. Paralysis spreads, making breathing difficult, then often
impossible without assistance. In the end, most victims die."
This substitution has been made as early as the 1930s, when
poisonings from diethylene glycol prompted the formation of the
FDA. More recently, mass poisonings with fatalities in the hundreds
to many thousands have resulted in China, Panama, Bangladesh, India,
Haiti, Argentina, and Nigeria. Nobody has been prosecuted because
the manufacturers are not licensed to sell pharma-grade product, and
do not claim that the product is pharma-grade ... only 99.5% pure.
Thus, no laws have been broken.
This is one of the scariest, unbelievable pieces I've come across in
a long time. And not to be complacent, the diethylene glycol came
very close to making it into U.S. product.
You owe it to yourself to read this entire article, if you want to
be informed of the utter ineptitude, ignorance, and deception at all
levels of marketing and regulation - starting from a small
production shop in China, all the way to the FDA and agencies in
other countries. And what is so disturbing, is that nobody seems to
be able to put a stop to these practices.
A few days ago, a question to a person from an herb & supplement
company about vitamins, revealed that a very large proportion of
vitamins are now manufactured in China. It seems prudent for
everyone's safety, to make careful enquiries about the source of
products being purchased, and the source of materials in that
product. Start letting every supplier of goods know that you are
concerned.
An ordinary bottle of over-the-counter cough syrup could kill you.
What if you had been traveling in Panama last year and needed some?
And the cough syrup was manufactured by the Panamanian government,
not knowing the supposed "glycerin" going into it was actually
diethylene glycol, and totally unaware where the stuff really came
from!!
Unbelievable. Scary. Please inform your other health groups.
