First of all, everyone is talking about two ads (one on topic, one not) that appear in the April 2006 issue of Bicycling magazine. The ad content, intended use etc...not the content of the product. No one is discussing whether the Liberator is poly-peanut or foam filled.

Secondly, the Sportlegs ad does not make any comment concerning the safety of its product, nor what is in it, such as "safe herbal formula" or "all natural". The fact that calcium and magnesium are two of the three main ingredients is not discussed. Products that market to kids ought to be safe to use, as I'm sure Sportlegs is but I have a problem when a company, any company, that attempts to entice young children into taking a pill so they can win a race. It's not about about the ingredients which you seem to be focused on, but rather, that they are using a kid to "pedal" it. Reaserch? Ouch. You got me there. I must apologize, but I did as much research as an eleven year old child would.

The rambling point of my post was the acceptance of pills and drugs is our society (a negative thing), and the tough job parents have raising kids in a "enhanced" society, which is made harder by companies that may or may not be promoting a healthy lifestyle through science.
