Super Beta Prostate claims I’d have to take 100 saw palmetto capsules to get the same amount of beta sitosterol as I can get from just one SBP capsule. OK, if true, that proves that SBP is a much better source of beta sitosterol than saw palmetto. But evolving as hunter gatherers, how much saw palmetto did we evolve to need? And if we don’t need saw palmetto, how come we need one of its ingredients in 100 times the concentrations we’d get from a natural source?

That’s not to say that Super Beta Prostate is a lousy product. I have no idea how effective it is. I am just looking at how incredibly dysfunctional the logic supporting its value in its advertising is. And yet, the advertising clearly works to sell the stuff, because the so many people in the viewing audience have a grasp of logic that is even more dysfunctional.

So as hunter gatherers, what did we evolve to need that we are failing to get in our modern diet? Is there some missing dietary supplement we should all be taking to support rational thought?
