Re: Your Grandkids Are Already Taking Steroids, Whether They Know It Or Not

Of course, your kids and grandkids know that there are steroid products sold as supplements in sports nutrition stores. They are a lot smarter than you give them credit. And apparently know a lot more about steroids and PEDs than their elders.

It's just the same people who were clueless about the use of steroids and PEDs in baseball and other sports until recently who are now discovering that steroid products have been legally available as dietary supplements for over a decade. It is amazing how blind people are to these issues in our society

Some steroidal products have been legally and openly sold during the past 10+ years on supplement store shelves. This has been legally permitted, under certain strict conditions, by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994. (Keep in mind that the overwhelming majority steroidal products are NOT legally sold as dietary supplements.)

Most steroidal products sold as supplements during this time period were legally reclassified as "anabolic steroids" with the passage of the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004.

But several steroidal products continued to be sold. Some legally. Some not.

While the supplement industry is highly regulated under the conditions of DSHEA, the FDA has been virtually absent in its enforcement of DSHEA.

So, many supplement companies have been violating the law by selling steroids that are misbranded and unapproved new drugs and NOT supplements.

Finally, it looks like the FDA is starting to enforce DSHEA.
