message: "This mass may promote feelings of satiety while traveling through the gastrointestinal tract"  This is a spurious argument.  Monkeys might fly out of your gastrointestinal tract.  The cause of obesity is more likely to be frequent stress, not changes in appetite.  I have said this before. Frizb (talk) 23:49, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Chinese translation of the chemical.... 

message: I removed the Toxicology and safety section because it did not discuss either of these topics, and  only contained one sentence: "Currently, the substance is permanently banned from some pharmaceutical preparations by the Australian government."  I don't know if this is supposed to imply that that the Australian government is concerned about the safety of glucomannan, but without more information this doesn't belong in a section called Toxicology and safety.  --MYCETEAE - talk 08:36, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Glucomannan appears to beneficially affect total cholesterol,
LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, body weight, and FBG, but
not HDL cholesterol or BP.

thread_title:  Review of glucomannan 

message: The study by Jordi Salas-Salvado, et al, cited in this section clearly states, "each sachet of the fibre supplement contained 3 g Plantago ovata seed husks and 1 g glucomannan," not pure glucomannan.  
Also the weight loss for the placebo group was incorrectly quoted as 0.79 kg; the placebo group actually lost 3.79 kg according to the study.  The study authors did not find a statistically significant difference in weight loss between the control and two treatment groups: "The weight loss was progressive and constant in the three study groups..." "Although the changes tend to be greater in both groups supplemented with dietary fibre, the differences between groups were not statistically significant."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.203.148.112 (talk) 08:38, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

message: "Glucomannan is a soluble fiber, and as such, has been investigated for the treatment of constipation." What does soluble fiber have to do with constipation? Insoluble fiber helps constipation. Matt2h (talk) 15:34, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

we don't add content about health to Wikipedia, sourced to press releases search results Please read WP:MEDRS. Jytdog (talk) 18:39, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: this is the "source" being added. It is a search page. That is not a reliable source at all, much less a MEDRS source. See WP:ELNO #9.  A source needs to be a specific reference. Jytdog (talk) 18:42, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

text: Also the part of the article above the table of content is called the "lead". See WP:LEAD. It just summarizes the body and doesn't need to be sourced itself - the content it is summarizing, is sourced in the body of the article. Jytdog (talk) 18:52, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
