@The Rest Of The Story,

Did you have a point you were trying to make when you posted the wikepedia link for Dr. Edell?
Thanks for sharing his mini-bio, credentials, and awards with us.Pretty impressive!

Rest of Story,

The mainstream scientific community is our experts. You can stick with your fringe pseudoscientists, if you wish.

I recommend printing the AIBMR Life Sciences study (Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2008, 56, Pgs. 8326-8333) Especially, table #1. This highlights the ORAC and total phenolics (polyphenols) of MonaVie.

Take this data to any qualified registered dietician and ask them to compare the antioxidant profile of MonaVie to common produce. They should have access to the USDA ORAC Table of Selected Foods – 2007.

They’ll charge you a small fee, but I’m sure you’ll agree that the truth is worth it, correct?

Another reader contacted the free food technology extension service at UC Davis, and spoke with Dr. Christine Bruhn, a professor of food science. She verified our interpretation of the data 100%.

You may want to contact Dr. Bruhn or other food scientists at UC Davis or the University of Georgia.

An additional source would be the Oregon State Linus Pauling Institute. They study food antioxidants.

So you see, it’s not necessary to take our word for anything. Get off your rear and ask the experts.

Yeah the fact that he’s syndicated nationally in 90 markets really speaks how low-valued his opinions are (note the sarcasm).

Instead you combat with this likely paid infomercial thing where the founder of MonaVie makes claims against the FTC’s and MonaVie’s own guidelines.

I guess the “wow ok” is the best you can do rather than actually try to make a logical point.

I suspected as much because the transcript really read as if all the questions were provided by MonaVie. Some of them even seemed straight from the MonaVie official FAQ. That’s not an interview… it’s an infomercial as you say.

The interviewer, Steve O’Brien, appears to be a professional infomercial participant: http://www.williamsullivanadvertising.com/personal.html
