Does anyone know how many members LEF has? I recall seeing a figure over 100,000. MaxPont 12:26, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More content

Hi, I just added a small bit of content. Not a very confident editor, but hoping to help make this article more interesting - I hope I'm allowed to link to various spots within the LEF website, even though the main page was already referenced as an external link. The LEF is one of my favorite sources for great vitamins and info, and also they watchdog the FDA and Big Pharma with vigor (the FDA returns the favor, of course) - thanks --mike bailey May 12 2007

Hi Cometman. Good additions. We still need to have documentation for their notability from outside sources. Right now the article could be deleted as being self-promotional, but I know it's notable. We need proof that it's more than a cover for just selling supplements. Where is the proof it actually supports real research, etc.? Any legal conflicts with the FDA should also be documented. We simply need outside V & RS for their notability, otherwise this will get tagged for deletion as it serves as advertising to help them sell their products. It mustn't become an advertisement. -- Fyslee/talk 06:15, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure about the reliability of chetday.com as a source. What's their reputation?

Feel free to use these and to add more to this list.
