Update Needed
Somebody should take the time to rewrite the published papers section. It appears that these are outdated to include the latest publications. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.165.162.201 (talk) 06:15, 22 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Do you have a link to the new studies, or better yet, secondary sources about those studies? Grayfell (talk) 06:21, 22 October 2015 (UTC)


 * I just checked the ones indexed on PubMed. I'm sure full studies are available, this article seems to be very outdated and biased in that regard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.165.162.201 (talk) 06:30, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Brian MacFarland v LifeVantage
Recently a Brian MacFarland lost an appeal to strike in legal action initiated by LifeVantage to sue MacFarland for libel on his blog. MacFarland has since removed his content. It may also be noted, that some of the statements in this article is based on the positions made and propagated by MacFarland on his page (maybe his a secret author here?). For example court said: "In light of Dr. McCord's declaration, a reasonable trier of fact might conclude MacFarland's statements were not substantially true and were defamatory."

What do we do with this information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.165.162.201 (talk) 06:51, 23 October 2015‎ ‎


 * Wikipedia favors WP:SECONDARY sources, and this is especially important for legal documents involving living people. Are there any reliable sources discussing this case that are not court documents or similar? Exactly which statements are based on MacFarland's work? The website is not linked here (or anywhere else on Wikipedia), so that's a bit too vague to be clear. Grayfell (talk) 08:38, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
