Prohormones now banned

[BOOEY]

I have a question. Is the supplement industry so fucking weak that it can't stand up and fight the government? Why the fuck aren't these companies joining together and fighting?! It's like they're just sitting there with their dicks in their hands. WTF?! First ephedra, now prohormones. Soon, creatine. If this is such a million-dollar business you would think there would be some fight. If I were one of these giants (Twin Lab, Muscletech, etc), I would organize a protest large enough so it would get on CNN so people could see the other side. This is fucking ridiculous!

so how long til m1t (and PH's) are illegal to buy?

Actually the law they are talking about enforcing would include all PH.

"...the FDA is citing a seldom-used provision of that law that defines as a dietary supplement natural ingredients that were on the market before 1994 -- and says manufacturers must prove that any new ingredients are safe before selling them as supplements."

The makers of PH have never shown them to be safe.

The majority of the supp companies are just out there to make a quick buck and could give 2 shits about what freedoms we lose. This is why they are not fighting. Most of them are to greedy and selfish to unite with other supp companies to put together an effective lobby.

Even more scarey is that they are talking about banning creatine and dhea too. On top of that one senator suggested that all high school students be randomly tested for drugs. Big brother at his best!

I don't see how they could ever ban creatine since it is found naturally in foods anyway. The supp companies aren't going to bother spending the money to prove PH aren't dangerous substances. They would basically have to prove they don't work - that's good for sales right?

 

[bigp3]

Oh they sure can make something illegal that naturally occurs in nature. How about marijauna, it is nothing more than a tropical plant. Oh and testosterone is natural, every living human in the world has some amount of it coursing through their veins.

The supplement companies don't stand a chance when fighting special interest groups that involve BILLION dollar industries such as the drug companies. Look at the fast food industry scrambling trying to get a law passed so People can't sue them for GETTING fat. What is this country coming too??
