I don't think these things can "hurt"...but I'd take them with a grain of salt and knowing you are handing money over to a company that doesn't have to provide results.
I have a friend who is an attorney for such a company.
Someone is making a lot of money selling cinnamon right now (a few people)...who would have thought? (No, I don't want to hear about the miracles cinnamon provides...research and the ADA say nothing has been proven)
When it has been proven, then I'm open to spending money. |
I do not dispute any of this and that is why I asked for comments from those who have tried the supplement.
If we all close our eyes to everything that is said no one would be using insulin now as for every statement made someone can find a claim for it and one against it.
What about those that say there is a cure for diabetes out there but there is to much money to be made by not disclosing the cure.
What about the FDA approving nutra sweet if you read up on it you will find that it originally started as an ant poison and the FDA denied its use. Now it is okay?
So please in my post I asked for opinions from those that had used it to see what the results are. Don't be so sure that the FDA and other government departments are looking out for your best interest all the time.
Why has the FDA not approved stevia?
