Right Paul

My guess is that many of the dietary supplement companies are hesitant and don't want to get into a real quality control program because it will cost them money. Some of them no doubt have been trying to work out rubber stamp or weak quality programs. But with the pressure on dietary supplements from the AMA oriented folks some of the big companies must be considering BioFit because they will benefit in the intermediate to long run (and the first ones in will benefit the most) and a process with documented independence and integrity will also lower the pressure for some kind of government regulatory group (ie FDA I am sure would be willing to lend a helping hand) to be brought in, which is a possibility that must be scaring the **** out of dietary supplement manufacturers and distributors.

With respect to the mice, if they aren't earning their keep threaten to send them to the FDA for re-assignment to other studies.

Also you, yourself, should not spend too much of your own money feeding your mice because you are still going to have to buy us dinner at some future point.
