| Summary, etc |
More than 60 percent of Americans use herbal and dietary supplements, fueling sales of $20 billion a year--despite a lack of evidence that these products are either safe or effective. Aside from extensive coverage of ephedra, the weight-loss supplement linked to the death of Baltimore Orioles pitcher Steve Belcher in 2003, the media has been disturbingly silent about the danger. Journalist Hurley breaks the silence: he charts the rise in deaths, disfigurements, and life-threatening injuries caused by supplements deceptively promoted as "safe and natural," and brings to light the backroom politics that led to the passage of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA), which essentially freed the industry from any FDA oversight. He shows how the industry concealed the truth about dozens of untested treatments, blending hard facts with harrowing personal stories to provide a hard-hitting look at an industry that is out of control.--From publisher description. |
