Supplement scams in the US

The American paper, released on Monday, reveals that many herbal "supplements", do not contain any trace of those substances.
In fact, many of the tested supplements contained little more than cheap powdered rice, wheat and houseplants.
"Among the attorney general's findings was a popular store brand of ginseng pills at Walgreens, promoted for 'physical endurance and vitality,' that contained only powdered garlic and rice," reports the New York Times.
"At Walmart, the authorities found that its ginkgo biloba, a Chinese plant promoted as a memory enhancer, contained little more than powdered radish, houseplants and wheat – despite a claim on the label that the product was wheat- and gluten-free."
Furthermore, they found that three out of six herbal products sold at Target – ginkgo biloba, St John's wort and valerian root, a sleep aid – contained none of the herbs on their labels.
"But they did contain powdered rice, beans, peas and wild carrots," The New York Timesreveals.
 
Peas, wild carrots and beans are probably better for you anyway. Oh the irony.
 
There was another scam some years back with them diluting olive oil with canola oil and adding food dye. But at least they don't add High Fructose Corn Syrup to everything. Oh, wait….
 
Incorrect.
It was the cheese factory supplier in California...

Undeniable proof:

All good suggestions. It doesn't have to be too serious just something where everyone can participate.
Get enough members together, have it properly run / moderated and we'll even do 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes.

Direct me to the thread if it gets started!
Our hands are in to sponsor it.
