MFP email this morning touted NAD+ supplementation in a "paid ad" This is irresponsible.

If your curiosity was sparked by that paid ad that accompanied today's email from MFP and you clicked on "why doctors are supplementing with NAD+" please be advised that human trials are totally lacking, and the only positive effects have been observed in zebrafish and rodents. Not a zebrafish or rodent? Maintain interest, but keep your money in your wallet. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5840929/

Agreed. I get that MFP (and all other free sites out there) need to support themselves with ad revenues, and I think that's a fair exchange (most of us pay extra if we want commercial-free TV for instance). However, when it's not clear that the articles and blogs are targeted advertising and not part of the actual MFP weight management and fitness structure, so many people who are coming here from a background of "Eat these 5 foods to lose 10 lbs a week!", and "30 days to visible abs with these expensive supplements!!" are going to be confused and anxious.

Hope we don't start getting email ads for Bragg's apple cider vinegar.
