I do trust FDA more than those quacks ! Most the time FDA is right but sometimes they made wrong decision too that means there is some interesting reliable people even if they criticize FDA I do trust doctor Mercola !

Vitamin/supplements/health foods are regulated by the FDA as food not drugs. This means the items are presumed safe until proven otherwise. Drug are presumed dangerous until proven safe. Some basic manufacturing requirements have just been implemented by the FDA for vitamins. Vitamins cannot claim to cure any disease.

You need to watch the movie Food Inc. It exposes the truth about how well the FDA and the USDA monitor and protect the food and medicine sold in most grocery stores. It is disturbing. You are better off buying organic foods and supplements. Whole Foods is a store I trust for groceries, but a food supplement I take and give my family called Juice Plus can only be bought online at www.juiceplusblend.com. It is NSF certified. NSF International, The Public Health and Safety Company is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization, and is the world leader in standards development, product certification, education, and risk-management for public health and safety. So since Juice Plus is NSF certified I know it has the 17 fruits, vegetables, and grains that it claims it has. Besides that it is clinically shown to reduce oxidative stress, protect DNA, and help support a healthy immune system. I hope this information helps you
