Frontline fails to say the obvioius and important bit of atmosphere: it's not just that the FDA does not supervise supplements and that there is no justiciable claim that they are "safe and effective," conditions which all legal "medicines" must comply with. The important fact, it seems to me, is that the FDA is prevented by law from intervening, supervising, or imposing such a condition -- and this ukase is the result of extremely expensive high-powered lobbying by this very wealthy industry upon the Congress. This is a commercial industry so profitable that it has been able to buy itself legal immunity.
