93. ONE ARTICLE DOES NOT MAKE A CONSENSUS!

Stop saying things that are not true. You know better than that. You have posted nothing even remotely close to a "clear consensus."

And how much do you think it will cost us, as consumers, when these supplement companies are held to the same standard of "proof" as a pharma company? And, have you ever READ what the definition of a drug is, under the FDA? A drug has to be CLAIMED to do certain things. That's why it's a DRUG.

Have you ever noticed that supplement companies always couch their language in terms of "helps to....." and other vague phrases? There's a REASON for that. The reason is that they can't make the same claims that drug manufacturers make about their products. And, yet, here you are, demanding that they do the TESTS that support their being able to make these claims.

You really do need to go and educate yourself about this topic before you post such idiocy.
