I am at a loss how you can consider food suppliments suddenly harmful, or needing to be "re evaluated" if the came on the market after 1994. From what I can see, most, if not all, of these products contain natural ingrediants, are not drugs, and are taken by adults who have a right to take natural products if they so choose. I am not even convinced the FDA should have a say in wheather these products should be on the market. Many people want to take suppliments they feel are less altered by companies, and to put these items "under review", is just a way to get us to take syntheic products that really will be harmful to us. Please stay away from our natural products. We don't need you babysitting us, as we are adults and can make decisions for ourselves. Thank you.
