Natural Causes
Death, Lies and Politics in America's Vitamin and Herbal Supplement Industry
Book • 2006
In 'Natural Causes', Dan Hurley delivers a riveting work of investigative journalism that charts the rise of the dietary supplement craze and reveals the dangerous—and sometimes deadly—side of this industry.
The book covers topics such as the regulation of dietary supplements and includes notable cases like the weight-loss supplement ephedra, linked to several deaths.
It serves as both a history of the industry's regulation and a catalogue of horror stories resulting from the naive use of these supplements.
