Re: Trivita Involved in Unethical Practices / Products with Dangerous Amounts of Lead
Thanks, SBM. That was pretty incredible.
As the above posts show, some "Kermit the Frog" contacted me on Quatloos and asked that I comment on certain FDA legal issues that were being discussed in a scam.com thread on a jungle juice called "Nopalea", from MLM Trivita. I had not posted there in some time - I have had multiple posts deleted there in the past. I thought I would try one more time. In checking out Trivita, BTW, I saw the reports on lead, but didn't comment on them for a few reasons - they're not about Nopalea, they don't include any actual lab reports, and I have my doubts about the source.
So anyway, I wrote about my impressions as to the claims Trivita made for its very expensive nostrum. As I try to do, I included a general overview of the area of law for those not familiar with it - in this case, FDA regulation of supplements under DSHEA. Most people are not familiar with this fairly arcane stuff, and those who run scam.com seem not to be "most people" anyway.
I don't think the thread lasted 48 hours after that post. SBM (or anyone else who reads that board) - did anyone try to dispute anything I said before the thread disappeared?
I can't imagine why anyone would try to post anything requiring thought there. Somebody doesn't like it, it goes.
BTW, if anyone on this board wants to run something involving the law past me - for all I know, you have a source here, making it unnecessary - PM me on Quatloos. I may not be able to respond right away, but I'll respond.
Happy Memorial Day, to my US friends here. Happy Queen's Birthday, Aussies.
