Talk:Metamucil

[edit] Removal of advertising copy
I've removed a few sentences from this article because they appear to be unsubstantiated advertising copy. Specifically:
- It is clinically proven to reduce cholesterol when used as part of a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet. — this statement requires sourcing, and clinically proven is vague and unencylopedic
- Metamucil is the number one doctor and pharmacist recommended fiber supplement/bulk fiber laxative — again this needs sourcing and reads like an ad. Besides, what does "number one" mean? Number one where? Number one by what measure?
- capsules plus calcium — this is poor grammar and since capsules are already listed, the existence of capsules that have calcium in them as well is not particularly notable.

[edit] "Has Been Shown" to "May also"
Changed some wording regarding the lowering of cholesterol, in order to conform to the cited source.
