If you think that a sample of 1 is enough to validate the safety of this substance, then you need to just stop commenting on this article. You have absolutely no idea how science works.

It is not a "substance". This is basically a multivitamin mixed in with some fluor, some whey protein and some olive oil. You only need common sense to validate the safety.

"Safe to consume along with a regular diet" is different than "safe to consume as your entire diet."

But that's the point - they claim it's safe for anyone; that it will correct cholesterol; that it's okay if you have problems with digestion; etc.

You only need common sense to realise that this single product cannot be safe for everyone.

What type of flour does it contain? They say it's hypo-allergenic, so it shouldn't have any gluten in.
