They are ok, if they agree with the woo crowd.

But if they disagree, they are just satire or BS in the name of humor.

I have a friend who inhales bulk-up powder by the barrell, all while downing supplement pills like Pac-Man. When I mention stuff like this to him, he usually shrugs and says "All I know is that it works."

That basically boils down to "what's the harm?"


And that's why it's a billion-dollar industry.

I actually struggle to keep my wife from buying (literally and figuratively) that crap. Her sister gave her a subscription to a magazine that has Dr Oz on about every other cover. Thankfully, she's realized he full of shit and ignores anything he says.
