to strangle the vitamin industry. A US court has ruled that a manufacturer can

YES!! I found it so hard to believe Big Pharma was going to win this battle,

but with all of their

money, I feared it was going to happen... Kind of like a bad dream, just wanted

to wake up

I guess I can throw out all of my empty brown supplement bottles I was saving

for just

in case!!

Thanky,

Jim
