Apple Cider Vinegar? Or Just Acid?

Advertisements in magazines and on the Internet offer what seems like a
simple remedy for a range of health problems - apple cider vinegar
tablets. But University of Arkansas researchers have found that some of
these tablets may not contain apple cider vinegar at all and could be
hazardous to the taker's health.

This comes as no surprise, since makers of herbal products or
"supplements" not only don't have to prove their products are safe,
they don't have to prove they are effective, and the products don't
even have to really contain any of what the label says is supposed to
be present.
You are sadly misinformed. FDA regulates dietary supplements compliant
with DSHEA, which is compatiable with FDA's position that such products
present no "unreasonable risk" to consumers. It's the law that dietary
supplements must be proven UNsafe.
My point. Supplement manufacturers don't have to prove their product
safe; it's up to post-market surveillance to prove the product is
UNsafe, *after* it has been marketed.

Ephedra anyone?



What about ephedra?
Do you know how much it takes to have negative effects?

Depends on the condition of the person consuming it. It also depends on how accurately the chemical manufacturer is in labeling. Several years back a report said that some tablets of something, I cannot recall what, ranged from 0% to 200+% of the chemical.
