Vivimind Billboards

[pyat]

So, if you live in Canada, you're seeing billboards for Vivimind, an over-the-counter drug that allegedly protects "memory function."

Know, then, that the drug is being sold over-the-counter because it failed clinical trials. So, the company can only market it as a nutritional supplement.

I do wonder about that, where do we draw the line between "It's a health supplement" and "It's charlatans lying to you and cheating you out of money".

There's a lot of products out of there of dubious effectively, and also a lot that are actually 100% counter-productive towards their stated goals. Learned a little about this last weekend with "infant protection devices" that offer none and actually increase the SIDS rates of children they're used on.

Someone's going to be held criminally responsible sooner or later. I can only hope it's sooner.
