Supplements' claims are often based on dubious evidence for their ingredients' effects to start with. A new paper has shown that those ingredients may not even be in there.
"Twenty-three of the 57 products (40%) did not contain any detectable amount of the labeled ingredient. Among the other products, the actual content ranged from 0.02% to 334% of the label’s stated quantity. Only six products (11%) contained ingredients within 10% of the stated labelled standard. Seven of the 57 products were found to contain at least one FDA-prohibited ingredient, an unapproved drug available legally only in Russia (omberacetam), three drugs formerly available in Europe (ioctodrine, oxilofrine, and deterenol), and incredibly, one drug that has never been approved in any country (1,4-dimethylamylamine)."
That is simply terrifying.
At mealtimes, the Comanche elder Niyah stressed that Comanches ate meals when they were hungry. In their old free nomadic lifestyle, the families might eat around four times in a day. Men, women, and children all ate together with the food placed on a dried rawhide in the center of the seated family. Even visitors were warmly welcomed.
During the 1930's, Mrs. John Barnes, who was a white resident living near Comanche people shared the following observation of their life and food preparation:
"All Indian houses had tepees near them . . . [T]he women built arbors which were made of poles and willow brush. Here the Indians lived through the summer. "
Of their meals, she added "Another way the beef was prepared was to cut the fat into small pieces, mix it thoroughly with sugar and a little flour, and fry it for a short while. Lots of Indians ate kidneys raw, but when cooked they wanted them cooked well done. Most of their bread was bought bread and they used crackers as bread some. Later they made bread from wheat flour called grease bread which tasted pretty good. Steak was cut into small squares, fried, and gravy was made with this meat. Indians are fond of fruit, cookies, and candy."
