And you really believe there's such a thing as "neutral" in this business. It's hard to believe, for me, that a "neutral" company isn't backed up by another company that wants to throw dirt, undercover, onto the other companies.
well, it was not a supplement manufacturing company, it was a company paid to test others products and report to them the findings. The problem with that is many of the supplement companies who had their products tested but didnt get the legitimacy turnout they hoped own the test results so they dont have to allow them to report them.
this is not the same site but one that is along the same lines, same issues though, if a supplement shows to not contain what it says, the product manufacturer owns the rights to the report and can have it taken down from the site.

People believing scam artists posing as coaches and trainers is the real issue, and this is a much bigger problem online than it is in the real world. If someone is successful and makes a living based upon their success from actually getting people results, and has people paying them for legit results, and their success depends on RESULTS, its much harder to fabricate who you are and what you know. Online there are tons of "experts" who havent trained 2 people in their entire life, havent trained themselves for any substantial amount of time, but are "experts" or "top ball handling coaches in the world" etc.
People being dumb is the main issue, if people are ignorant on any issue there will always be a wide open door for scammers, look at what people have done with religious scams, get rich quick scams, etc. In the end its the individuals choice who they listen to, the scammers will always be around but they wouldnt be able to continue if people would use their heads a little bit.
