Dietary Supplements: Is the Fox Guarding the Hen House? Part 3

When it rains, it pours.  Remember last Friday's post about a recent Men's Health article regarding contamination issues due to lack of 3rd party oversight of dietary supplements?  Well, over the weekend, the New York Times published their expose of a few bad apples in the barrel.  


However, those that promise to pack on muscle, strip away fat, and improve/increase erectile function are probably the ones most likely to be contaminated as we search for short cuts to avoid the hard work of exercising regularly, eating nutrient-dense foods, and getting healthy.  As long as we continue our quest for a miracle pill, we remain vulnerable to injury from those who would separate us from our hard earned dollars as quickly as possible in this miserable economy.  Caveat emptor!
