U.S., Canada, New Zealand and next Australia are most stringent in drug laws

[Guest guest]

The U.S., Canada, New Zealand and next Australia are most stringent in drug

laws pertaining to drugs, foods, cosmetics, herbals, and food law labeling

and other requirements. Then Europe, South America are decent while Russia

and China and many other countries are at the bottom of the heap with the

thinking of.... " if you can sell it to anyone, then it is helping you and the

country so it must be good " policy, or in essence " NO POLICY " or buyer

beware.

The The United States FDA (Food and Drug administration is cracking down on

many internet companies and many more are to be hit soon.

Cheers,
