The Westin A Price foundation also now recommends Garden of Lifes'
cod liver oil and, what a surprise, of of their board members is
Jordan Rubin (the founder of Garden of Life)! No, there's no
coincidence there! You don't think that this has anything to do
with their recommendations do you!!!
Sure, why not? Jordan Rubin wouldn't be on the board in the first place if
Sally (WAPF prez) thought his products were not WAPF-compatible.
WAPF stopped recommending Carlson RIGHT when they started
recommending Garden of Life's. Seems rather apparent to me.
First, Rubin is only an *honorary* board member as are so many other health
practitioners who are WAPF-compatible. I do not believe these folks have the
power that the regular board has in making executive decisions. Second, huh.
Well, the WAPF also recommends Blue Ice, but it's proprieter, Dave Wetzel,
isn't a board member nor an honorary board member. But so what if he was?
You have to keep in mind that WAPF is a non-profit charity with the sole
mission to serve the public interest (unlike a for-profit corporation like
Carlson's). You insinuate that Sally is corrupted by her association with
Jordan Rubin, but that is based on ignorance of Sally and how she operates.
I believe, in fact, that her seal of approval to GOL came about largely
based on feedback from Chapterleaders from whom she solicited
opinions/experience with the products as she was considering NOT having the
company present at the last national conference. Apparently, she was swayed
by the positive testimonials, and I imagine by her own research into the
company.
The fact that GOL didn't pass the consumer labs test due to high peroxide
levels doesn't necessarily mean that Sally is merely a corrupt dictocrat
putting a seal of aproval on a bad product. I'm sure she has no idea of this
consumer labs report, but I'll be sure to mention it to her.
You
know, it's kind of funny that they would now recommend an oil that
failed ConsumerLab's testing instead of sticking with one that
passed.
Consumer's Lab seal of approval is not necessarily a relevant factor in the
quality of a product. Undoubtedly, they, like so many other
groups/corporations operate under many false ideas about nutrition, so their
standards reflect this and thus it is not a automatically a *bad* thing when
a product fails one of their tests. Although, in the case of peroxide
values, I'd agree that high levels of peroxides is definitely not a good
thing. I wonder exactly what amount they found and how it compares to other
brands of CLO?
NOT
APPROVED
Fail
