And, now, apparently, we can't even rely that prescription medications have safeguards given the latest recall of the hypertension medication, Valsartan.

On the other hand, I'm happy to be living in an era where the standards are so high that a slip up like this is considered so outrageous.
Oh really?
What about aspartame which is in diet drinks pushed through by Donald Rumsfeld.

Never had a "diet drink", and wouldn't trust it.Quote

Liz' point is valid. Sugar is the main killer in western society and anything with 'diet' written on it is poison end of IMHO. I was just in Bordeaux for a week and the lack of overweight/obese folks there was gob-smacking compared to here in the UK. The French know about good quality food and drink. Mediterranean diet healthy? You bet. And mainly because it isn't full of garbage.

My response to you was because of the above statement which turns out to be not completely true---you are going off in a tangent about flavored water with supplements which has nothing to do with the above statement.

Was the recall of Hismanal and Seldane another slip up of drugs that were prescribed. I take Rythmol once at night, no doctor ever told me that there could be an interaction between Rythmol and grapefruit juice. There can be interaction between Coumadin and Rythmol as well, drugs are not benign.

Grapefruit juice interacts with a lot of medications. Do your research.

If I take my car to a mechanic, I expect him to know what is wrong and how to fix it, he will give further instructions if needed, I guess according to you doctors are exempt. If they prescribe a drug they should be aware of any interactions and tell you. I do my research because doctors unfortunately don't.
