But Doc, it's the only way I can swallow them! And don't you think hiding your cholesterol pills inside a ball of cheese or a glob of peanut butter kinda defeats the purpose?
Last night’s Dr Oz had stuff on extranious materials that could be (purpously or not) in supplements that people buy. I was glad to see that it was mostly weight loss or energy items (that I never would use) but the info showed that factories of cut rate vitamins might also not have the best standards (just as candy and other say “fabricated in … where peanuts etc are also processed” or similar, except that here we are talking about medical drugs. I have stopped taking even vitamins since I eat so many good fruits and vegetables as well as seeds and whole grains. My latest bloodwork was great! At 74 I use no medications. I admit to too much TV and was glad to see that 2 favorite crime shows have new season (Criminal Minds and The Mentalist). I can’t watch just cooking and decorating ;-P
