Ken,
I hope you're right about the supp companies knowing something we don't...but
in this climate of constant fraud and manipulation, vigilance is the only
chance we have to prevent at least some of the corruption. we are losing our
freedoms right and left, [no pun intended] and I am always concerned when I see
things like this...I don't know much about the supp industry but I don't feel
safe in assuming that they are in control of the situation when it comes to
being up against the pharma-corp-giants. That being said, however, it is true
that the supp industry has grown huge in its own right and it is possible that
they will be able to fight to protect their interests...but when all is said
and done, I think the industry itself is too new to be able to have gained
sufficient power and influence among the government and politicians to
effectively fight the drug-medico industry...and I sincerely hope I'm wrong on
this...I've just seen too much to trust that the right thing will happen
anymore ;(
Ah well, one can always hope...
Marnie

Actually, bbanever, that's a very good point. If CODEX is really all it's
cracked up to be, why isn't every vitamin company, especially the big ones,
getting busy popularizing this problem so a real anti effort gets underway?
I think I will start looking into this issue a little more, though.

MED - So true. The one saving grace in all of this is the fact that the
natural foods, vitamin and supplement industry don't seem too concerned at the
moment... I haven't seen any of them calling for action, petitions, or the
like. Perhaps they know something we don't?
