I am shocked that you people persist in promoting 10th rate corporate propaganda about herbs, vitamins, nutritional supplements. The pidgeons have flown the coop. Any literate, health conscious person knows that health store vitamins and the like are, of enormous help in curing and maintaining good health. On the other hand, many people know that many pharmaceutical products are dangerous and do not promote good health. In fact, a large number of them have caused thousands of deaths and many of these products are taken off the market after a year or two because of serious problems. I'm in my mid 70's in excellent health and I take a good number of nutritional supplements. US News is as bad as FOX TV in imparting false information.

This is a great article. I have read Anna Miller's work in other publications and am excited that US News has picked her up. Great recruiting on your part.

When you do some reliable scientific investigation about the number of deaths caused by prescription drugs that have been approved by the FDA and the number of deaths caused by dietary supplements, it makes one wonder about the integrity of the FDA.

Black cohosh really works...the alternative medicine offered for hot flashes from a Loyola doctor was psychotropic drugs! I'd rather take nothing versus a psychotropic drug!
