[IBC] Superthrive
Bob - I'm glad you put Coke in the same bed with Superthrive. Both could
rot out your stomach lining. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Pastorio" To: Sent: Friday, October 28, 2005 12:30 PM Subject: [IBC] Superthrive On 10/28/2005 11:27:20 AM, wrote: Mike Bennett wrote: I agree there is a lot of secrecy about Superthrive, but there is a lot of secrecy about many products, it's called proprietary information. Give that away, everyone goes off and makes it and you lose your market. It's common practice among many companies. It seems to be more than that. It's apparent refusal to submit for govt. labeling requirements. Patents would cover the ingredients list. Quibble: Patents demand disclosure. But it's not likely that they would be able to get a patent on it, anyway. Formulations aren't usually given patent protection. Keeping the formula secret is exactly what Coke and Pepsi have done. For the same ostensible reason. Anyone who wants to can have anything tested and try to duplicate it if it isn't protected. Of course, any processes involved in making it -whatever it is - wouldn't be discernible from the ingredients alone. Whether it's snake oil or not, I don't know. But if I were making something that could be easily duplicable with standard ingredients, I wouldn't tell anyone, either. I don't think I'd ascribe sinister motives to the people who make Superthrive from their secrecy. Seems like good business security to me. But you never can tell...
