Actually most of these posts have very little bearing on or connection with the original article.
So they would all be irrelevant.
The original article was specifically related to antioxidant content of various health products. "MonaVie" was mentioned ONCE out of over 700 words.
The ire from MonaVie defenders seems to stem not only from questioning the product but specifically calling their business a "pyramid system" - which brings with it a negative connotation. Which you yourself amplify that by saying "Only a fool or someone that was badly deceived would fork out $45 for a bottle of GARBAGE pyramid scam fruit punch."
To point out that the issue is not isolated to a single company or single industry is valid. The nutritional and pharmaceuticals industries are interrelated in many ways. In fact major pharma like Abbott own major nutritional brands. So to say that they are "NOT relevant" is irrational. (empowerher does a good job of covering these topics - posters not so much - but that's why we don't get paid!)
Seems you should have stated that YOU made this discussion about MonaVie - specifically the efficacy of it's juice product and it's business practices. At which point I would have to acknowledge your Anonymous powers.
