Hi James, as promised I stopped by your blog this weekend and very happy I did! As someone who once thought of a career in Health Administration, I'm very passionate about these issues. Thanks for sharing the information with us.

Also, I really enjoyed this comment, "If we twist science to create worldwide distrust in healthful dietary supplements, then we are truly harming consumers." Reminds me of what's happening in Politics today. With all this "spin" and flip flopping going on, only the voters (consumers) will be harmed. It's just wrong to distort the facts, more so when someone's health or safety is at stake.

I look forward to future posts from you.

All the best,
Chanelle
