New Wadday wanna bet...
... that perhaps one of the Big Drug Companies is preparing to (or already is) marketing a line of vitamin/mineral supplements?

Just follow the money, and the AMA won't be far behind...

New Two that come to mind: Roche & ADM
"Pricefixers to the World", both Roche and ADM supply multivitamins and food supplements (soy-based isoflavones, as the hush money^W^Wunderwriting credits say). Both were found guilty, and fined heavily for price-fixing.

In the "gee, isn't that an odd coincidence" dept., I've worked for one, and a family friend was lead counsel for the other's anti-trust case.

What part of "gestalt" don't you understand?
