138. I notice you provided no link so we can decide how credible that source is. But, I see it does not

cover the, as yet, unknown affect the use of this product will have, IF they continue to claim it is 'natural', despite the fact that this claim has now been found not to be true in a civil law suit, on people with kidney failure, like my FIL eg. I know I would not even consider giving it to someone with Diabetes.

I did a little research on this product today, thanks to the OP, but mostly thanks to those who tried to silence him/her, (see they do serve a purpose) and what I found was NO ONE other than the Corporation (who is planning to sell it, NOT as an additive for occasional use, but as a product to be used regularly, as a food, not yet approved by the FDA), no one has endorsed it enthusiastically. What most credible sources say about it is that people 'should be cautious'.

I will certainly spread the word now to everyone I know that they should be very wary of it. So I am glad I read this OP, it prompted me to look into it and others as well.

Eta, I see you added a link, Wikipedia. Any reason I should give any more credibility to Wikipedia, where we know facts are often changed by people with a vested interest in doing so than to any other site? And some of the statements from that excerpt are incorrect, a lot left out, from the research I did today. So far I'm not impressed with this product at all from what I've read.

But one thing I did find out, certain corporations are going to make a whole lot of money IF they can convince people that it is 'natural'. And that is going to be hard to do considering the Civil Case which they lost wrt to that very issue.
