Fingon Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 A warning to herbal supplement users: Those store-brand ginkgo biloba tablets you bought may contain mustard, wheat, radish and other substances decidedly non-herbal in nature, but they’re not likely to contain any actual ginkgo biloba.That’s according to an investigation by the New York State attorney general’s office into store-brand supplements at four national retailers — GNC, Target, Walgreens and Wal-Mart. All four have received cease-and-desist letters demanding that they stop selling a number of their dietary supplements, few of which were found to contain the herbs shown on their labels and many of which included potential allergens not identified in the ingredients list. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/02/03/gnc-target-wal-mart-walgreens-accused-of-selling-fake-herbals/
IDBillzFan Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Man, the next thing you're gonna tell me is how organic food has no added value over regular food.
DC Tom Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Man, the next thing you're gonna tell me is how organic food has no added value over regular food. More to the point: organic labels have no added value over regular labels. You can stick "organic" on a can of motor oil for all it means.
Chef Jim Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I have stopped all supplements. If you eat right you don't need them. I always assumed it was a scam.
