Have you discussed glyconutrients on your own website? I'd be interested to read your own thoughts on the subject. Hi Tom, Yes, it's so important that companies take care with how they advertise their products. Sadly many are only interested in making money, and we as consumers suffer at times. The annoying thing about Mannatech is that it's their reps who are spreading lies, which is much more difficult to control. Hi Frank,

When it comes to dietary supplements you have to be very careful when a company makes claims like this. The FDA does not fully regulate supplements, so without specific studies scientific studies showing the benefits, it is not right to make such specific claims. I work with a supplement company and we are careful to not benefits that have been associated with the ingredients, but we make sure to disclose that we don't have proof that our product can cure or prevent any diseases. After reading what Frank said, I hope that this is not a scam for the sake of anyone who has or will buy from them. Thanks for taking the time to investigate this.

The claims sounded too good to be true, plus the products were very expensive. I guess the bottom line is: I do not use these products, nor recommend them. <em>Diana Young, Dietitian's last blog post..<a href='http://www.themenucoachchronicles.com/2008/04/why-buy-local-and-seasonal-food.html' rel="nofollow">Why Buy Local and Seasonal Food?</a></em> Hi Melanie,
