[QUOTE="George-NYBC, post: 4354, member: 628"] Recently, the media were abuzz again with tales of horror, worthlessness and danger about supplements. It's tiresome for those of us trying to navigate between supplement sales people and the minions of pharma who fear the competition these supplements may represent to often horribly over-priced, frequnently toxic and often minimally or ineffective drugs. Yes, drugs CAN work, but often in populations far smaller than what the drug companies target through misleading advertising. So they want to assure sales remain robust: supplements may interfere with those sales. Is that the motivation for the recent editorial in the Annals of Internal Medicine? I don't know. But the hysteria is absurd. I've written a couple of blog posts for the New York Buyers' Club (NYBC) that you can find here: [URL]http://nybc.wordpress.com/2013/12/23/more-supplement-hysteria/[/URL] and [URL]http://nybc.wordpress.com/2013/12/30/response-to-annals-hysteria/[/URL] Comments and thoughts welcome!
