Safety
of Dietary Supplements
Figure
1.
Statistical
comparison of frequent causes of death
USA
.
Dietary Supplements have
averaged less than 5 confirmed deaths per year over the past
25 years in the USA. Most of those relate to a single batch of
genetically engineered tryptophan introduced in the late 1980's.

Think
about it. The greatest contributing
cause of death for each of the 5 most frequent categories, cardiovascular
disease, cancer, smoking, prescribed drugs, and alcohol is man made
chemicals found in what we eat, drink and breath. The greatest
preventable cause of death for these 5 most frequent categories
is what we put in our mouth with our hands-( the quality and type
of the food we choose to eat). Hay folks, this isn't rocket
science !!. Therefore, we all have the "right to know"
everything that is in all of the food we eat. ( Need laws requiring ingredient
labels.)

It's fascinating ... how, when there is one suspected
adverse reaction to a dietary supplement, it makes the headlines,
and yet government, medical officials (the system) and
the media are oblivious to the plethora (superabundance) of deaths
due to properly regulated, properly prescribed and properly used
drugs --- not to mention avoidable deaths due to medical misadventures.
Think About This !!.
All
commercially prepared pet foods contain dietary supplements.
Cattle, sheep, horses, goats, laboratory rabbits and rate, yes,
even rats, etc. need dietary supplements to remain healthy.
We've long known that pastures and food crops need dietary supplements
(fertilizer) to grow well, even the flowers in our garden.
Yet, it is still denied by officials ( government regulators
like Health Canada, Doctors, pharmaceutical companies and the
main stream Medical System ) that humans need dietary supplements
-- despite the plethora of evidence and commonsense that says
otherwise. Our regulators and officials are trying
to convince us that despite the fact that our pets need supplements,
our farm animals need supplements, our food crops need supplements
-- humans do not.
In
the US FDA’s “Poisonous Plant Database”at http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~djw/pltx.cgi?QUERY=SOY
Soy, Flax, Linseed and Canola are listed as “poisonous
plants,”, and it recommends that if you are injured
by them to contact your local “Poison Control Center”
in your area, (at ... http://www.aapcc.org/.), or 911. For further information see ... http://www.soyonlineservice.co.nz/ .
“... Over the past few decades, the U. S.
and Canadian farmers have grown more and more Rapeseed , Canola, {and Soy},
for use by food manufacturers world wide. They ship it
for use in thousands of processed foods, with the blessings
of our governments and their watchdog agencies, particularly
the powerful and corrupt FDA. I do say “corrupt” for several reasons, the least of which are:
(1.) the FDA “fast-tracks” for approval costly, proven toxic and sometimes
deadly drugs, as well as, toxic experimental drugs for cancer and aids patients, ...
(2.) the FDA allows “junk foods” to be sold with multiple ingredients that are “scientifically proven”
to cause a variety of health hazards to children, (some are banned
in Europe),
(3.) the FDA knowingly condones and allows distribution of “regular processed foods” with toxic and poisonous
canola, soy and other toxic and poisonous ingredients, ...
(4.) all the while, the FDA is persecuting those selling virtually harmless vitamins and herbs ...”
