It had 23,000+ great reviews. The vitamins made me extremely sick. I went back to review what had been written, and there were now only 53 reviews by actual people, and I'm not totally sure they were valid. Amazon had figured it out and pulled the reviews.

Folks, this is dangerous as hell in some instances.

I'm going to start buying my purchases directly from the companies. If enough people do that, maybe Amazon will force the congress to do something about AI.
