@872ab8e1 If Democrats had any courage, they would regulate the supplements industry to stop this sort of thing. There are soooo many scammers in the business and, not coincidentally, the industry is a big source of maga campaign funds.

@872ab8e1 The herbies have been a major force in the disinformation wars, unfortunately as the attacker of facts and reality. So it’s way past time for stringent safety and efficacy regulations to counter the herbal/homeopathic bullshit. https://cdn.mastdn.ca/media_attachments/files/111/074/787/493/755/972/original/ea38610542128ac8.jpeg
