Glyconutrients and Health Claims

June 23, 2009

To all glyconutrient & supplementation webmaster:

STOP IT!  Quit making claims that your product cures ANYTHING.  It may very well do so, but it’s illegal for you to make the claim.  In fact, it’s illegal to describe an ailment and sell a supplement on the same page.  This give the indirect impression (insinuation) that your product cures the diseases you decide to explain.

It is these claims and the awful SPAM-like nature of this guerilla advertising that makes the rest lose credibility by their customers.

Needless to say, testimonials are not allowed!  If your product is good, it will sell.  It all depends on how convinced you are about it.  Most websites returned on a search for glyconutrients or supplements on Google break the law.

The first thing a visitor does when stumbling upon a website is worrying about whether the vendor/publisher is legit or not.  A dead giveaway that you are not is to have content that is unlawful.

It’s no wonder people who are not involved with the glyconutrients will often criticize glyconutritional vendor as selling “a new wonder, cure-all pill.”  And they say it very sacartically.  Sure, if they took the glyconutrients, they would most likely be as enthused as you, the webmaster.  But that’s not the purpose for this post.

I urge you to stop putting this content online.  Stop linking glyconutrients and other supplements to diseases and cures for these diseases.


Vocabulary

http://www.glycotrainer.com/vocabulary.php

This page has a few keywords/terms that are related to glyconutrients, supplementation, glycobiology, and cellular communication. The nice thing about this page is that the words and phrases are explained in lay terms. The page only has a minimal amount of words and doesn’t overwhelm. It provides just enough information for us to follow the content which exists throughout the site.

I wouldn’t recommend starting here when reading information ion other pages from the site, but I would recommend taking a look at it if you get stuck with a specific word and/or term.


Another Glyconutrients Video Site

September 18, 2008

http://technorati.com/videos/youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DBKzYNBR2lhs

This site has videos that have to do with glyconutrient news coverage, special interviews with scientists involved with the research of glyconutrients, videos that explain glyconutrients and the benefits of glyconutrients, and a few others.

It only lists five videos, it could use a few more. But the ones on the site are very good ones.

Remember, you can always do a glyconutrients video search on YouTube.


Videos, Lots of ‘em!

September 14, 2008

http://www.glycocinema.com/

Glyco Cinema has a plethora of videos on glyconutrients. I especially recommend the “Sweet Language of Life: The Glyconutrient Story Video.” It is a very informative video, packed with lots of important information on how and why glyconutrients work.

The site does seem to be a gateway for another, more informative site (http://www.glyconutrients-online.com/). The two sites have the same design which makes them seem like the same site (users can seamlessly navigate between sites).

The Google Ads are a bit much (I don’t really care about them), but over all the sites are very easy to navigate through.


ABC News: Cure for Your Disease or Empty Promise?

September 12, 2008

abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=3228488

This is a very interesting article on glyconutrients. It’s a little lengthy at four pages, I admit. But the article is very easy to follow and understand.

The article makes mention of a 20/20 show that aired in 2007. There is also mention of Angie Rhoads.

After the article, stick around! Read some of the responses. They shed some insight as to what people are saying about glyconutrients.


Glyconutrients.net

September 10, 2008

Oh …. K….

I don’t get it. Glyconutrients.net has absolutely nothing except the word “Glyconutrients” in each of it’s three pages.

The site does show up on the first page of Google results but it obviously has to do with the domain name. But still, I don’t get it.

Where’s the page content? People want to read about glyconutrients. People want to get to know these exceptional class of nutrients.

Books on Glyconutrients

September 8, 2008

http://books.glycotrainer.com

The above site contains books on glyconutrients, books on building your own home-based business, and books on nutrition.

In general, the idea for the site is good. The site, however, is left behind by the rest of the site. The design seems to almost restrict a growth in the list of recommended books.

If you need a book for building your business, self-improvement, glyconutrients, or nutrition, then http://books.glycotrainer.com/index.php is a great place to start your search.

And to the owners of the site:
You should seriously consider a re-design. The rest of your site is awesome. This site, however, appears to have been slapped together at the last minute.
