Why aren't nutritional supplements regulated by the FDA?

Because they're classified as food products, not medicines, so they aren't regulated by the strict standards governing the sale of prescription and over-the-counter drugs. The FDA has very little authority to mess with nutritional supplement companies because they're not drug manufacturers; they're selling foodstuffs or nutraceuticals (natural substances believed to have health benefits), according to some decision made decades ago. Further, the FDA can't even inspect the company's manufacturing process unless it has reasonable evidence that its products are harming people -- and this means some people need to be harmed before the FDA can step in.

That's a little late, if you ask me. This lack of regulation can lead to wildly inconsistent quality -- and there's even no guarantee that the ingredient touted on a bottle's label will be in the supplement at all.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
