It seems like you're assuming most people are stupid. I don't share that view. I imagine, should these pills be produced and promoted, people would buy them, and after a time, they would be reporting back: "I just vomited and had diarrhea, and I didn't feel any better afterwards!" Some people would take them and feel better, and they'd argue that the pills were miracles. MOST people wouldn't try them at all. Most smart people, anyway - because we don't do things without researching and questioning and gathering other peoples' experiences. It's like this tea I kept hearing about for a while - it's a miracle!! It changes lives!! But when I did the research, the only people who were saying that were the people who were selling it - I found no reliable research that the stuff had any measurable effect. So I found no compelling reason to try it.

I mean - people buy bigger dick pills from e-mails! You can sell anything to some people. That doesn't negate the true, reliable experiences of people who go on cleaner diets.
