I found so much useful information on this site I almost forgot to go home. Mostly product testing, but there are also sections such as the encyclopedia, and current government warnings (not just US). The product testing sections list not only the products that passed CL tests, but also those that did not, and why. There are explanations of how the tests were done. The text also discussses current research with references. The biggest problem is that not all products can be tested. But I did find some information about a supplement I'm taking that helped to explain the label information on the bottle.

Europe nutrition and supplement news briefs. News headlines contain research, regulatory, industry, and consumer trends topics. News is also categorized by product news and health condition news.
