520    More than 60 percent of Americans use herbal and dietary 
       supplements, fueling sales of $20 billion a year--despite 
       a lack of evidence that these products are either safe or 
       effective. Aside from extensive coverage of ephedra, the 
       weight-loss supplement linked to the death of Baltimore 
       Orioles pitcher Steve Belcher in 2003, the media has been 
       disturbingly silent about the danger. Journalist Hurley 
       breaks the silence: he charts the rise in deaths, 
       disfigurements, and life-threatening injuries caused by 
       supplements deceptively promoted as "safe and natural," 
       and brings to light the backroom politics that led to the 
       passage of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act
       of 1994 (DSHEA), which essentially freed the industry from
       any FDA oversight. He shows how the industry concealed the
       truth about dozens of untested treatments, blending hard 
       facts with harrowing personal stories to provide a hard-
       hitting look at an industry that is out of control.--From
