'Superjuices' Touted as Cures for Cancer, Swine Flu and the Recession -- Are They Dangerous Scams?
Excellent article over on AlterNet that looks at those expensive juices with exotic ingredients that promise a healthy body and a fat income. But can they pull you through a recession and a health-care crisis?
Particularly entertaining is the Comments section.
Len Clements shows up to defend the Jungle Juice industry and begins with a long winded dissertation on his qualifications.
Highly entertaining!

As a follow up to Mr. Clements comments, a reader suggests...Vet Your Sources!
Stan,
Let me first say that as a consultant, consumer advocate, and court certified expert in the field of multilevel marketing, as well as a 19 year participant in this profession, I concur with the majority of your thesis as it pertains to what I call the "Jungle Juice" industry. Not all, but the majority.
Having said that, your clearly biased treatment of the MLM business model itself demonstrates a great ignorance of the topic...
And a lot more interesting comments.First vet "Len Clements"
There's some discussion of this scam artist over at wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Multi-level_marketing
Basically his authority comes from a) being an MLM veteran (conflict of interest?) and b) being a "court certified expert in MLM"-- as Wikipedians note, after a bit of research, he is likely lying about being a court certified expert, but even if he's not lying, he doesn't tell us which court certified him and what cases he has been involved in. There must be some reason he doesn't want to give out this info... most likely because it is non-existent.
I tend to trust the author of this article, who has no financial interest either way, over Mr. Clements and his ilk.
Highly entertaining!
