Lead in a children's vitamin

Posted 5/27/04

 

As part of this Review, Li'l Critters Gummy Vites was found to contain 2.5

mcg of lead per two gummy bear serving. This is an excessive amount of lead for

a children's vitamin and should be avoided. The product tested by

ConsumerLab.com has the expiration date of 9/05. These results were confirmed in

two

independent laboratories prior to release, per our protocol.

 

Rather than recall this product and notify the public of the problem, the

manufacturer, Northwest Natural Products ( " NNP " ) has launched a libelous

campaign

against ConsumerLab.com, attempting to put our results into question. We feel

that NNP has acted irresponsibly and unethically regarding this problem. We

have every reason to believe that our findings are correct. For more

information about this see our news release.

Consumer Labs?? Anything thats included in that site, originates from

Pharmacy Checker.com which is not proven to be a reliable

source for info on natural herbs and vitamins. Anyone whose advice

includes Statins is definitely not going to provide an

honest " evaluation " of alternatives in my opinion !!

When in doubt a good rule of thumb is, check out some of the other

'recommendations' on the site! If you scroll down you will find they are in the

business of casting doubt on supplements. In my opinion, this is just another

'quackwatch " , an excellent example of the way pharmaceuticals are sowing seeds

of doubt on healthy vitamins, minerals, and herbs (which is occurring much more

frequently of late. Coming from these people, I would seriously question the

*information*!! I am aware of this product, and in my opinion it is a very good

product. I believe we must consider the SOURCE of information, before accepting

anything at FACE VALUE these days.

 

Just my 2 cents.
