Actually I find the Guardian tediously LW and right-on PC... I'd say I never had so much sympathy with management planning redundancies as when I was a local union rep and had to attend consultations... try the Independent. The Telegraph's position is in little doubt, if it were any more RW the even-numbered pages would be left blank.

Have people been experiencing problems with tainted vitamins and minerals?
Never, that I've heard. It just doesn't seem an issue, in any way.

One positive result of this will be a thriving black market
That's never a positive, unless you think smuggling is cool and good for the country.
OTOH I find it hard to believe that many people will bother flogging UTC vitamins... "Ere, mate, want some C? tell yer what, it's got twice the RDA on vanadium...." ROFL, I really think not.

What's with the obsession with Germans and vitamin pills? Well, maybe they make plenty of them, but really who cares? (Oh, there was a cartel recently - led by Roche, who are Swiss). It's not exactly a huge profiteering area, is it?
