Times</em> reported recent DNA testing by Canadian researchers shows one out of three herbal supplements tested had no trace of the supplement at all.</p> <p>And many others were mostly cheap fillers like powdered rice and weeds.</p> <p>The study looked at 44 bottles of popular supplements sold by 12 companies.</p> <p>A nonprofit group that supports herbal supplements said quality control is an issue, but not as bad as in this study.</p> <p>The findings were published in the journal <em>BMC Medicine</em>.</p> <p>Copyright 2013 CNN.
