Good story, there are some mistakes made on behalf of the NPR staffer. DSHEA was enacted in 1994 not 2004 and is in itself a "regulatory" mechanism. Perhaps just a technicality.....

"Cowardice asks the question - is it safe? Expediency asks the question - is it politic? Vanity asks the question - is it popular? But conscience asks the question - is it right?

And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right."

-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
