Answer:
FDA needs to stop being so greedy and test the supliments

Some of them are good and worthwhile but the folks that control these drugs don't have the $10,000,000 to pay the FDA for approval.

Stevia is one

Why don't you tell people what it's about before you send them to some unknown link?

This FDA needs to stop herbal supplements. The industry is out of control. They advertise things that don't work and don't do anything (diet pills, male enhancement pills, female bust enhancement, etc...)

HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS are DRUGS and should be treated as such.

We have the power to stop the out of control herbal industry.

I am afraid they will change their definition of milk chocolate so that all we'll have left is **** like those chocolate flavoured bunnies.

What you mean is about? They already did!! They get paid a lot of money to push the sale of a lot of drugs and food items such as Canola Oil (millions of dollars).

I agree with the above poster. Supplements are being recommend as medications and used as medications. Therefore they ought to be regulated as medications. Most herbal supplements are a best worthless, but some are actually harmful. All have the potential to cause harm by delaying people from taking more appropriate treatments.

Don't get me wrong. Many medications that are in use today either are or were derived from plants or other natural sources. Examples include aspirin, penicillin, Taxol (a cancer drug), cyclosporin (a drug that makes organ transplants possible.) etc.
