My oh my:nono:, so sad. I don't think that I have ever taken any of them though, thank God for that.

Yikes, my prenatals are on that list (good thing I'm bad at taking pill). The amount is within the legal limit but I'm not really interested in taking any amount of lead. :look:

[DragonPearl]

Such valuable information. Thanks for posting. :up:

[vevster]

I'm shocked at the brands.. New Chapter, Rainbow light???

I'm glad the brand I used the most is not on there. MEGAFOOD.
