Many supplements are suspect. They are not regulated by the FDA and claims of efficacy are often not scientifically substantiated. Dr. Oz is famous for promoting “fat burning” and other supplements. He was called before a congressional committee where he didn’t perform well at all.
My least fav are the ads for supplements “guaranteed to give you a sharp memory.” The TV actors are so attractive and chipper with their improved memories. i wonder how much $ is wasted by seniors fooled by these false promises.
…and wondering what is currently being advertised –that we will subsequently find are toxic or deadly or simply useless.
