man the whole EU can suck my ****!

its crazy how idiotic they are, the EU is a disaster and if GREAT BRITAIN ever joins such a stupid organisation (well thats anything with the French government involved!) then i'm migrating!

obviously they haven't yet, so for now Britainia still rules! I really don't trust Labour though so i doubt its gonna last long

by 2007 all food supplements will have to pass vigourous testing in order to be sold without prescription. It will limit the amount of each vitamin tablet to 100% of the RDA so high does vitamin tabelts will no longer be available

The testing cost will be enourmous thus preventing smaller supplement compaines from distrbuting ther products in the EU and hence limit the amount of choice

ther is so talk that the bill could outlaw creatine, glutamine and ph/ps's altho as far as i can tell this is just hype.

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? where did you get this stuff? Regulating food supplements? Imagine the cost of making sure each company that puts out a vitamin only has the RDA in each pill. The FDA fucks with performance enhancing supplements which are then policed by the DEA, so why would they start controlling basic supplements like vitamins? Imagine seeing a bust on TV for a guy in posession of a multi-vitamin that contained 1000% of your RDA vitamin C."Whats this son? A multi-vitamin? Well how much vitamin A is in it? Oh is that so? Well forensics will be the judge of that". And just for the record the PH/PS bill is no hype, it goes into effect in January.
