"This heres a story about billy joe and bobbie sue... go on take the money and run..." Steve Miller Band
The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines the word scam to mean, "a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation." I would further this definition by adding that the perpetrators of a scam are scum. A play on words perhaps but the severity of such an act is serious.
In this great age of advanced technology I have the benefit of seeing what search "keywords" people use to get to My Resveratrol Experience. Over the past few months I noticed an upward trend of people searching the term "resveratrol scam" or "abc resveratrol company scam," insert any resveratrol company name in place of the abc.
I use the keyword data to see what topics people are interested in and it also provides me with a great source for writing topics. The scam topic truly got me thinking and I felt it was an important topic to discuss.
My first thought was to instantly go into defensive mode. I said to myself, "people just don't get it, if they would do some research perhaps they would see resveratrol is promising." But after this initial reaction I took a step back and I took a different approach to looking at why more people search the terms resveratrol scam.
The fact is people who search resveratrol scam deserve some praise. They are most likely skeptical and are looking to research deeper into whether or not resveratrol is the real deal. More people should take this approach!
All to often we want to believe the "good stuff" and discount any of the "bad stuff." I know personally I have been guilty of doing the same thing. Maybe not with resveratrol but definitely with other aspects of life. It's important to take a step back from your thoughts, regroup, and look at things from all angles.
I've created a custom Google search that incorporates sites with information about resveratrol as well as all the information available through standard search. Prior to taking resveratrol why not search a few of these keyword phrases:
Resveratrol Negative Side Effects
Resveratrol Scam
Is resveratrol harmful?
Resveratrol FDA
Resveratrol Drug Interactions
Are there "scam" companies out there selling resveratrol? I think we would be naive to think this does not exist. However, I do think for the most part that many companies are legitamtely trying to help people and provide good products. Do your research before putting anything into your body and make the most informed decision you possibly can. Eventually we may have to take "leaps of faith" but that doesn't mean we can't educate ourselves first.
With the lack of in-vivo research using resveratrol it's difficult to say if taking resveratrol will have the same effects it did on all those mice. Does the unknown make resveratrol a scam? What do you think? Post your thoughts below.
Live Longer,
