I know the FDA can take way too long to approve certain drugs, but with absolutely no control, I feel a bit uncomfortable. There have been several supplements that have been taken off the market because people were having extreme adverse reactions to them. Remember L-triptophan? sp? Not all of it was bad, but enough reached the US from places like India, and people died, and it was eliminated from the market for years.

Yes, we should be able to put into our bodies whatever we please, but I am very leary of the drugs from other countries just like I'm afraid of some of the supplements that are sitting in our health food stores.

Why does it have to be so damn difficult to stay healthy? Little kids have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar, and they are just KIDS. We are eating bad crap, not exercising enough, and sitting on our butts playing with computers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
