Supplements and you

Supplements and You
(Frontline, New York Times, and Canadian Broadcasting Company - sources)

Americans spend $1.3 Billion dollars on fish oil products.
     1 in 10 people take fish oil supplements
     No clinical benefit in peer reviewed, evidence based articles
     75% do no have the Omega-3 amount in them that is listed
The entities above examined vitamins, fish oil and "fat burning supplements"
Note that supplements are unregulated by the FDA and the Federal Government
Adulteration and contamination are common place
There are multiple outbreaks of disease associated with these supplements and "fat burning supplements"
There are 117 companies with filed criminal and civil enforcement actions against them in 2015 by the Department of Justice
We all know that prescription medicines have side effects and we are warned about these in detail by their required inserts.
Supplements undergo no vigorous investigation
Why would you be willing to use these untested pills (supplements) in your body  and worry about dyes and coloring in other foods and instead take supplements that we do not know what is in them.
Remember their labels do not have to reflect the contents.
Eating healthy is the best way to protect yourself from these unscrupulous manufacturers.
Eating healthy is the only way.
Remember location (types of restaurants or stores),  choices ( learn what is in your choices - protein, carbohydrates and fat ) portions  (size and how much you eat ) and speed of eating are the way to become and remain healthy.
