    I love Spark made by Advocare! It's a low calorie energy drink! I know some were concerned about the carbs, but it now has 4 carbs instead of 11! I signed up as a distributor because I love it so much! :)

    Wait, you use Advocare AND sell it? Shocking.

    Serious question: would it still be reportable for "advertising," if that poster came back and really did tell us more? I would think so, but since someone (jokingly, but still) literally asked for more info, it would seem like somewhat of a gray area. Of course, PMing that poster with the info would probably be appropriate, as he asked for it.

    lol well technically, I only posted tellmemore.jpg. Willy Wonka asked. :trollface:

    personally I'd consider it reportable...but I think all positive mentions of MLM programs are reportable, so I may be biased here.

    I will have to call you crazy there to be honest.

    Normally avoid these stupid arguments like the plague but... yeah.

    Many countries have banned substances that your FDA have approved. It's not all wonderfully safe and brilliant just because the FDA says so.

    So if we don't trust our regulatory bodies, where do we go for reliable assessment? The most eloquent, TV show hosts, full page ads, documentary film writers (i.e. Borat), or the forum of public opinion (Google)?

    From a proportionality point of view, regulatory bodies have a much better batting average. Nearly everything they label safe proves to be so.

    By the way, I'm Canadian so mine would be Health Canada.

    I notice that national regulatory bodies follow each other's rulings and often follow each other's conclusions. Experts listening to other experts.

    On some drugs I wish they would loosen up a bit. For instance, Schizophrenia is a debilitating and life shortening disease. A promising drug failed trial because of possible liver damage. If a Schizoprenic could experience a higher quality of life free of anxiety and disturbing voices, might the risk be worth it?
