Danger of Supplements

"23,000 ER visits occur each year because of people taking 'natural' supplements." Prevention Magazine, August 2016

This article goes on to say that 700 supplements have been identified as tainted since 2007.  I am always amazed at the people who suspect doctors but will go to a health food store and fill their baskets - and subsequently their bodies - with one supplement after another.  Not that all supplements are bad, but supplement makers in the US are far less regulated than prescription drug makers.  As usual, it is common sense which needs to prevail.
