[edit] Advertising blurb?

This article reads more like an advertisement than an encyclopedia article e.g. in the first sentence the word "palatable" jumps off the page - a subjective judgement, surely? Also there are no references to external 3rd party sources. IMO this article is a candidate for deletion - if I could remember how, I'd tag it as such! Perhaps someone else can help. Thanks. --TraceyR (talk) 21:07, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I have added 'fact' tags to two statement which are lifted directly from the product label/pdf data sheet without external verification. --TraceyR (talk) 09:09, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removal from WP:PHARM

I have removed this article from WikiProject Pharmacology. "Nutritional supplements" != "Pharmaceuticals". Dr. Cash (talk) 21:31, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Suitable as the sole source of nutrition" - OTT?

The article (and the company literature, from which much of it has been copied) state that "Fortisip is suitable for use as the sole source of nutrition (my emphasis) for most people over 6 years of age." I have raised the need for citation(s) supporting this statement, but is there any way in which this could be true? The company presumably takes legal advice about the claims it makes for the product, but it sounds way over the top to me. It could even be seen as dangerous advice for the general public and might cause Wikipedia problems - just imagine what would happen if comeone took this seriously. Any comments? --TraceyR (talk) 11:44, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
