Well, everything that everyone mentioned is true. When was the last time you seen a "real" 5lb bag of sugar? or a "real" pound of bacon??? At least 10 yr's if not longer. But, the price, at the time, didn't drop, eh?

They covered this on NPR and the response from the industry was something like "you aren't testing the same way as us, therefore you won't find what you are looking for." Apparently the industry has a secret way of testing to see what's in these supplements. Problem is the don't share the methods so no one can replicate the tests to confirm what they claim. It makes me wonder if some of the problems some people here have had with herbs such as Saw Palmetto is related to fraudulent ingredients.

It is really shameful what they did. I hope we will have a standard on herbs to prevent such acts. Thanks for posting this Lenneth. POM

There is a nutrition center here that I use, and NOT GNC. They seem to really be picky about what brands they carry and not. I know, that doesn't always guaranty anything. Because if there is only like a dozen major players in Herbs, then it don't really matter where you get them from if they are not what they claim.
