I removed the advertisement from the bottom of this page. Unless the author can cite references for what is said from "Performance Benifits" on it should be removed. Gravitate (talk)

I've removed the lot. All the other contribs by the same person were all similar spammings - MPF 21:28, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discovered by

I added this sentence because Dr. Steve Nissen originally discovered and patented it as a nutritional supplement and I thought that merited inclusion. I attempted to make it unbiased and if there is any slant please feel free to change the wording of it. Just make sure to include that he introduced it based on research that he did (at Iowa State University). Here's some links to verify that he did introduce it [1] [2] Quadzilla99 11:21, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Melting point

Melting point cant be -80C... seems erronous. 123.50.129.156 (talk) 21:56, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

That is the value given at the link in the reference provided ... which in turn references the Beilstein database. Unless there is a contradictory value in another reference you can find, I don't think there is any reason to doubt it. -- Ed (Edgar181) 22:12, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
