So many American health products have so many things wrong with them; perhaps the safest thing to do is never consume any supplements without doing homework.

Not just protein supplements but many fiber aids, and other things next to the daily vitamins sold in the store. One can seriously harm oneself going on a health food fad, diet or trend

And also the daily vitamins, which contain fillers of varying sketchiness. This is what happens when the FDA primarily relies on the industry to self-regulate. The only risk to those companies is being sued, and the only risk in that is them being caught.
