The war on vitamins is about to start. Just wait. This is the beginning: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070516/ap_on_he_me/vitamins_prostate
Now that the FDA has the power to “regulate” vitamins, expect to see a lot more press about how Vitamins are bad and Pharmaceuticals are good. Vitamins are bad because they are made by god and perfected by nature in every way. Pharmaceuticals are good because scientists make them and they are good for our “economy”. They also help finance lobbying organizations that make it possible for 1% of our population to get rich beyond belief. Woohooo!!! FDA good! Nature bad! Oh, and the bonus is that it is ILLEGAL for our government to negotiate with Drug companies on prices. Therefore these for profit, public companies are left with the responsibility of giving us a fair price, which currently is over a 3,000% mark up! Oh, and some might say, “oh well, if the prices are too high here, I’ll just buy them from
