    JDM would be pleased to know that he pulled the wool over a few people.  He does very impressive work.

    Yes, he'll be pleased.  I thought the style of morphing looked familiar – I am a fan of his work.

    It is regulated in that the FDA must certify that it is safe when used as directed and that any potential side effects are clearly noted on the label.  What is not regulated are claims as to what they do, which is why you often see their advertisements include disclaimers such as "these claims are not verified by the FDA," or words to that effect.

    Therefore, it's not that the supplements sold at GNC are dangerous.  It's that they may not be anywhere near as effective as their manufacturers claim them to be.  But that is how many supplements are marketed, and they make lots of money with very shaky claims.  Look in any muscle magazine and you'll see a bodybuilder promoting a supplement, using "before-and-after" photos of the bodybuilder in off-season and contest shape.

    Reminds me of BALCO.  In their case, it was:  Use the results from the steroids to promote the less-effective legal stuff.  Here, it's using the rsults probably gained from other people's steroids to promote the legal stuff.  Is there a regulator in the US who can admonish companies for making dubious claims?  In the UK, we have the Advertising Standards Agency, which investigates complaints in this sort of issue.  They're far from perfect, but they do seem to have rid us of the outrageous scam adverts we used to have in my parents' day.

    That stuff from GNS is not regulated at all and is made of god knows what!  And the long term side effects are unknow. 

    I would suggest that, because there are many more people taking things like creatine than steroids, that side-effects would be better documented, not worse.

    Anyone have a clue as to who the girl is? Does anyone know the origin of the flag on her chest…..finland?

    Right pattern, wrong colours – that's the Danish flag.
