Must be a slow news Saturday. Fox News ran a long piece on this. Not a product that I ever buy. But the Fox news chick felt they were terribly important. She dumped out two shopping bags of empty bottles, making a pile two feet high, and then said this was her monthly usage, and she paid $1400 a month for it. Wow. I don't spend that much on groceries. Must be powerful stuff.
Anyhow the FDA wants to regulate them like prescription drugs, require doctor's prescriptions and all that. The diet supplement people said regulation would skyrocket the cost and kill the industry.
Since they have been selling this stuff for a long time, and it doesn't seem to hurt anyone, I don't see a need to give the FDA another field to grow fat bureaucrats in.
