Red Krill Oil

I use natural yoghurts in soups as well. I like the Greek-style, rather than the very runny. At the moment, I am just going to eat a sliced banana with half and half of natural and lemon yoghurt.

Another red light on Krill Oil - Doctor Oz, the American TV quack is promoting it...

Re Vorderman - nice shape...

oh must be good if "dr oz" is promoting it. Rush out and buy some now.

Vorderman is :"... a strong brand ambassador and has once again provided her endorsement of the Sambucol range. AdConnection's media strategy is spot on for our target – reaching them in the right places at the right time."

So now we know what a 'brand ambassador' is!

annodomini That is a most extraordinary picture of CV. She looks as if she's got cheeks like a hamster.

Heavily photoedited to say the least. You can't do that, even if you do spend all your ill gotten gains on surgery!

Not sure I'd want cheeks like that! It's a safe bet that she has never taken any of the supplements she advertises and I can't imagine that she'd need a debt management company.

yesjessM you are right, I really did hope that the claims about the Red Krill Oil were true, I take Vitamin B and it does make a difference.

There are huge ships hoovering up krill from our oceans, and as the entire ocean food chain depends on them there isnprobably an environmental disaster in the making. Please don't support this very damaging industry.

I have learnt alot about Krill now and of course will not support the industry, thank you for letting me know

I repeat – if you eat a mixed diet and do not have specific health issues, you don't need supplements. At best, your body will simply excrete them and at worst they will cause harm.

thank you

most of the krill is used for things like animal feed and fertiliser. We have already done so much harm to the oceans but we keep on finding more ways to "harvest" them.

Krill - best left for those who depend upon it I think - the whales etc etc. Our bodies are clever things and designed to function perfectly well as long as we give it a good old fashioned mix diet. That is plenty of foodstuffs thats not been 'mucked about' too much. I once read a rather stuffy old book on the chemistry of the body and it works amazingly well as long as we don't poison it with all the chemicals in processed food and other unneccessary things like ciggies and too much alchohol.

I have very little respect for "celebrities" that endorse various products and services - and I would actively avoid anything they advertise.

It's now becoming common for various celebrities to go on chat shows and start name dropping the products they are paid to endorse - Patsy Kensit recently did this for Slimming World and I believe Danni Minogue did the same for another product.

I find it odd that people like Michael Parkinson should want to endorse the Over 50's insurance schemes, which give very poor value. Surely he can't need the money - perhaps he just can't stand not to have his face on TV?
The danger with Vordeman is that some people will be naive enough to think that she actually knows about finance when she endorses some loan company.

I agree greatnan the same thought had occurred to me re MP. This does not count as a graceful retirement from showbiz in my book.

Carol Voderman graduated from Cambridge at 20 and I think she had quite a hard time growing up, both financially and in a one-parent family.

Nothing wrong with finding Shakespeare boring.
I have got a 2.1 degree in Business Studies.
I got grade 6 ''O'' Level English Language on the third attempt.
I find Shakespeare boring.

Frank

Frank good on you mate.

HUNTERF O Level English language had pretty much nothing to do with Shakespeare and pretty much everything to do with being able to express yourself clearly when writing your own language.

Is that a put down Absent?

Oh, dear, Orca, why are you always looking for an argument? We are just chatting about TV 'personalities' and their penchant for endorsing dodgy products.

For my part - I can think of few things more boring than Business Studies!

Probably why I am poor...

Feetle - I often wonder why financial advisors are not all rich! Reminds me of those chaps who used to advertise that they could show you how to win the pools! Mind you, the partners in the big four accountancy firms are doing pretty well.
