This is a little beside the point, but I'm going to hold the author accountable for his take on a pressing issue.

Author makes the mistake of not holding the retailer responsible for what they sell. Walgreens, Target, and GNC, to anyone who knows what they're doing, are NOT reputable, in terms of herbal supplements.

Go to any naturopath or natural health practitioner and they're going to recommend herbal supplements with their own branding, specialty shop, or specific brand. They're not going to give you prescription, and call it into Walgreens like an allopathic doctor will.

Author is effectively saying "It's not the reputable retailers responsibility to stock their shelves with legitimate products."

Why do you think they sell crap instead of quality herbs? The cost is lower.

Think for yourself, and take your health into your own hands and you'll be a healthier person, no doubt.

Calling for the FDA to regulate and save the day because a bunch of uneducated people blindly trusted big corporations...no.
