Senators John McCain and Byron Dorgan have introduced legislation in Congress to bring dietary supplements under FDA control. If the past is prologue, the results of such a move are likely to be an arbitrary and unscientific intervention against your right to do what you will with your body, with the pharmaceutical industry generally pulling the strings. If not outright banning substances that some of us may find useful, FDA bureaucracy will definitely drive up the costs of supplements.

McCain is one of the Keating Five that admitted to taking bribes, impeding GAO investigations of S&Ls and cheating on his taxes.
He rolled over first and testified against the other senators.

There are some companies that are currently out on the market that already function under the GMP, and they get their products checked by the FDA. VPX is one of those companies and they have actually invited McCain out to there facility to help him see that not all companies are scam artist. I think we should be more upset with the companies that are spiking their stuff!!!
