-A recent NIH study concludes that glucosamine chondrotin probably doesn't do anything.
-Vitamin E has been linked to increased mortality.
-Studies show cinnamon does nothing to lower blood sugar, garlic doesn't lower cholesterol etc.
Why is the herbal industry so resistant to being regulated by the FDA? Maybe its because then herbal makers couldn't make such wild claims based on absolutely no clinical evidence.
Now that I have ranted on, I feel much better. Are there some herbals that have some practical uses? Sure, but there needs to be more, err some, err any regulation in the herbal industry.
