Crack Down

Barret says because of this, it does not permit the FDA to stop the marketing of products with unsubstantiated claims on their labels.
             With the FDA unable to check the claims of the dietary supplement, this makes it very easy for the manufacturers to label the packaging with ingredients that may not be in the product. This is extremely misleading to the consumer. The consumer is paying $ 30 to $50 for the product and may not be getting anything that will aid the body in weight loss or enhance performance for the person's sport. The consumer is also mislead by the pictures that go with the statements. The picture usually has the person that was mentioned earlier with dramatic results. These results include 20% body fat reduction and twenty pounds of muscle gained in thirty days. How can the consumer buy the product, when the picture has the words "results not typical" next to the picture in small print? The print is so small and discrete that if the reader is not attentive to what he or she is reading they will miss, the most important part of the advertisement.
             Not only do the manufacturers hide the fact that their product maybe false or misleading they also have extensive warning labels on the back of their products. The warning label is also in small print and is scary if one is not careful in reading the product thoroughly. The warning label is literally not for the weak at heart. One must be in good health to use the product. For example on the back of a bottle of Twin Labs Diet Fuel it is recommended to speak to a physician if a person has or their family has a history of heart, kidney, liver or thyroid disease, and diabetes. The label also says do not take if one has frequent headaches or any psychiatric condition. This is very extensive for a pill that is supposed to help people. .
             Most people know that cigarettes are bad for a person's health and cigarettes eventually kill thousands of people a year.
