Media Bias, Conflicts of Interest Distort Study Findings on Supplements
News media spinning out of control
Recent reporting of scientific studies completely misses the mark, says Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements author Lyle MacWilliam. Not only are journalists misunderstanding the results of many new studies, he says, but they are being pointed in the wrong direction by pharmaceutical giants with patented products that are threatened by natural health alternatives to the drugs they peddle.
The issue is much deeper than a simple misunderstanding of scientific processes. Studies are being completely misrepresented, deluding the public into believing that the herbal and micronutrient treatments they believe will help them are actually harming them, or even just a waste of their time. But is that true?
Probably not. The vast majority of news reports about the dangers and inefficacy of supplements are based on misunderstandings of the results or even complete denial of the results.

Dr. John Cuomo talks about product quality
Dr. John Cuomo is the Executive Director of Product Development. His experience in synthetic organic chemistry, manufacturing, and analytical methods make his contribution to USANA invaluable. Dr. Cuomo holds 17 United States and European patents and is the author of numerous scientific papers. "There are several areas that I think set USANA apart from other nutritional companies," says Dr. Cuomo. "The first is USANA's quality assurance in product development and manufacturing. Few companies have the level of quality control that USANA does. We spend a tremendous amount of time and money making sure that product composition exactly matches what's on the label. One of the ways we do that is through our in-house testing of ingredient potency."
Dr. Cuomo has seen many other companies include product lines solely based on the marketability of the products. "We won't jump on the bandwagon to join the latest health craze simply to make a profit."
