> This indicates to me that there is a difference in ACTIVE ingredients, not just "filler", or, at least, the way the "filler" is interacting with the active ingredients is causing a change in the net efficacy.Actually I tend to agree with that. As I know my posts on generic vs brand are already controversial, I was trying to keep it a little tamer by just looking at fillers. But yes, I do believe there is something different about the active ingredient as well. What? I don't know. I mean, salt is salt, diamonds are diamonds, regardless whether natural or manmade, right? What could be different?
At one time the entire world's experts believed earth was flat. At one time all experts believed ulcers were from stress. For the longest time they ridiculed the discoverer that ulcers were from a certain bacteria.
I've seen this saying prove itself true over and over, usually in places where we think we know it all, "the more we know, the more we realize we don't know".
I probably wouldn't give much thought to some phenomenon that pops up rarely. But with this particular topic, it pops up over and over all the time, usually by new people who are naive to it ever being a previous topic. So I have to give it merit, though I can't explain it. Numbers speak. And of course my own experiences were dramatic enough to take serious notice.
