Death, Lies and Politics in America’s Herbal Supplement Industry Dan Hurley The market is flooded with herbal and dietary supplements, yet the media has been largely silent about the dangers posed by these products, says Dan Hurley, an award-winning journalist and the author of Natural Causes: Death, Lies and Politics in America's Vitamin and Herbal Supplement Industry. Hurley discusses the disturbing rise in deaths and injuries caused by supplements and describes the politics that virtually freed the supplement industry from federal oversight. Hurley is a contributor to The New York Times and writes on health and medicine for Men’s Health, Psychology Today and other publications.
