I also find this to be of interest, Vince, mainly because I personally know a good number of those involved within the supplement industry but have never met the principals mentioned under this post.
Keep on truck'n.
Those who fail to feel likewise should simply avoid reading this part of the GetBig Board.
I have a few questions but the big one is ..... Doesn't the mislabeling of a product conflict with the regulations of the FDA?
It appears that the only supplement that the FDA shows any interest in .... are the dietary sups.
But it is possible that a mislabeling 'case' such as this might get their attention.
And how come the FDA apparently takes no interest in what is happening within the industry?
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/06/opinion/the-politics-of-fraudulent-dietary-supplements.html?_r=0To understand how we got here, you have to go back to 1994, when Senator Orrin G. Hatch of Utah midwifed through Congress a new industry protected from all but minimal regulation. It is also an industry that would make many of his closest associates and family members rich. In turn, they’ve rewarded him with sizable campaign contributions.
Even though serious illnesses, and some deaths are on the rise from misuse of these supplements, Hatch is determined to keep regulators at bay. “I am committed to protect this industry and the integrity of its products,” he told a gathering of potency pill-pushers and the like in Utah last fall.
In the past, Hatch has been remarkably blunt about helping his family and friends in the fake drug trade. “I do whatever they ask me to do many times because they’ve never asked me to do anything that is improper,” Hatch said in 2011. He was referring to the firm of his son, Scott Hatch, a longtime lobbyist for the supplement industry.
