WOW!  Who Knew???
I'm getting a little older.  I've noticed my BP slowly going up.  I hate pharmaceuticals.  So with research I thought I would try the Hawthorn Berries supplement.<br /><br />I don't know if it is the same with ALL the Hawthorn Berry supplements BUT...  I received my bottle of Spring Valley Hawthorn Berries in yesterdays mail.  Like a NORMAL person, I put on my glasses to read the label. 565 mg for "Heart Health."  Only ingredient was "organic Hawthorn Berry Powder" & the 2 ingredients for the capsule.  Okay, good.  I don't want any other filler junk, right?  Next to the ingredients they are very proud of NO: gluten, yeast, sugar...Blah, Blah, Blah.<br /><br />Under that...WOW! WARNING: This product contains chemicals KNOWN to the state of California TO CAUSE CANCER & BIRTH DEFECTS OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM.<br /><br />Now, I'm NO GENIUS but I have a few questions...<br />With 3 ingredients listed what EXACTLY are the carcinogens?<br />Better yet...WHY IN THE HECK ARE YOU ALLOWED TO SELL THIS?<br />If you know something in your product causes cancer why in the H*** wouldn't you remove them from the product & process????<br /><br />Moral to the story; be aware of what you're putting into your body.  ESPECIALLY with supplements that are NOT regulated by the FDA.  Say what you will about the "system" but they did remove red die #40 which was also a carcinogen.<br /><br />Frankly, I'm afraid to even try it.  Are all the other companies doing the same?  I feel like I wasted my money & time.
