The US General Accounting Office (GAO www.gao.gov) today released the following report: Health Products for Seniors: "Anti Aging" Products Pose Potential for Physical and Economic Harm. GAO-01-1129, September 7. http://www.gao.gov/cgi-bin/getrpt?gao-01-1129 The report is comprehensive and contains three excellent appendixes: App #2 tabulates products, principal claims for the product, known adverse effects, known contraindications and interactions. App #4 lists recent FDA actions for health products determined to be making illegal claims. This appendix names companies. App #5 lists FTC cases of illegal advertising for products targeted to senior citizens. Again, companies are named. Whatever you think of the report, after reading it you will end up despairing for the gullibility of your fellow citizens and thinking far more highly of evolutionary fitness!
