There is an independent health product tester; watchdog; alerter to fraudulent advertising; whatever, out there called the ConsumerLab. According to AARP (now how did that get into my mailbox?) I read this article  What's really in your vitamins?

Horrors! They reported (consumerlab.com) that a tad less than a third of multivitamins tested were mislabeled or contaminated. Contaminated? With what?
One vitamin water, they stated, had 15 times the amount of folic acid claimed on the bottle. Having no idea how much folic acid one actually needs, that somehow didn't seem like a bad thing…Men's multivitamins had traces of lead. Fill in your own snide remark here. I'm behaving.

It is important, we can agree, for federal rules and standards of products to deliver the potency and quality they advertise. False claims are unacceptable…

Having said this, this week alone, I received these ads in my in box.

Derma Define Skin Care -you'll look 20 years younger
Metabolysin -Lose 30 pounds quickly
Green Tea Wrinkle Cream -also look 20 years younger
And lastly
Jun Pure Cleanser-this, you should be aware, isn't a facial scrub

So, if you actually believe in the magic of lotions, potions, supplements and flavored water to turn back the hands of time, then I've got the proverbial bridge to talk to you about.
