Over the period 2008 to 2011, the [[Government Accountability Office]] (GAO) of the United States received 6,307 reports of health problems (identified as [[adverse event]]s) from use of dietary supplements containing a combination of ingredients in manufactured vitamins, minerals or other supplement products, with 92% of tested herbal supplements containing [[lead]] and 80% containing other chemical contaminants. Using [[undercover operation|undercover]] staff, the GAO also found that supplement retailers intentionally engaged in "unequivocal deception" to sell products advertised with baseless health claims, particularly to elderly consumers. [[Consumer Reports]] also reported unsafe levels of [[arsenic]], [[cadmium]], lead and [[mercury (element)|mercury]] in several protein powder products. The [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]] (CBC) reported that protein spiking, i.e., the addition of amino acids to manipulate protein content analysis, was common. Many of the companies involved challenged CBC's claim.</div>FuzzyBot
