Re: Re: Loss of Taste : Zinc

[Guest guest]

Thanks for sending that article. I read the whole thing and just sent an

email asking the company I bought supplements from, where their raw

ingredients are sourced from since the country of origin is not listed

anywhere. Only the formula and packaging in this country. Their name states

Purity in it but who knows if that's true if we don't know the beginnings of

the contents of the capsules.

I will check back when/if I have a reply; but that's only one company, isn't

it? Where does all the rest of the stuff come from, and as this article

stated, there is so little that is actually inspected as to the quality and

purity. How many people have actually lost their lives due to bad

ingredients. So sad and so inexcusable.

This article tells about drugs and supplements coming from China - it's from

the " Center for Medicine in the Public Interest " . The article is from Nov.

2010. I remember reading a different article a short while ago that said

something about 80% to 90% of the ingredients are now coming from China.

I'll post that if I find it --
