Alan: The national passion for nutritional supplements
insures that Americans have the most expensive urine on earth.
EGAN: Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) is to blame for the money Americans waste on fraudulent supplements. "To understand how we got here, you have to go back to 1994, when Senator Orrin G. Hatch of Utah midwifed through Congress a new industry protected from all but minimal regulation. It is also an industry that would make many of his closest associates and family members rich. In turn, they've rewarded him with sizable campaign contributions. Even though serious illnesses, and some deaths are on the rise from misuse of these supplements, Hatch is determined to keep regulators at bay." The New York Times.
