You may have noticed that CFAH, or the Center for Dietary and Health Education, is one of the CBD review websites that give credence to the work of CBD experts from the University of California, San Diego. CFAH is the go-to source for up-to-date, reliable, and credible CBD information. So, why are they giving credence to the work of CBD experts? Why are they not presenting information gleaned from unbiased sources? Well, here is a closer look at how the CBD industry is structured, and just what types of websites CFAH deems to be legitimate.
The main objective of CFAH, like many of the CBD review websites online, is to serve as a consumer watchdog. This is in response to increasing concerns about CBD products, as well as reviews and comments by ordinary consumers that are presented to them on a regular basis. In fact, CFAH has actually sued marketers who have been publishing false information about CBD as a result of their lawsuit campaigns. Therefore, CFAH takes the position that false or misleading information about products is a very real problem and that reviewers, if presented with enough good information, will be more likely to provide an objective opinion about products.
Not everyone in this world will agree with CFAH's assessment of whether or not they should endorse certain products. In fact, there are many people from the medical community who do not agree with CFAH's criteria for determining which CBD review websites should be credentialed, and which ones should not be. However, other people who are medical professionals have criticized CFAH for including sales pitches in their reviews. These people point out that there is nothing in these CBD resource guides that could be used to sell products, and that they do not promote the services that the sites deliver.
Regardless of whether or not CFAH chooses to allow reviews of CBD parents, it is noteworthy that the organization is not alone in putting out expert reviews about this relatively new product. Many other websites, both adults and children related, have also created their own CBD review websites. If you are unfamiliar with these sites, they are designed in much the same way as many parenting websites are. A parent writes a review about the experiences that they have had with a particular product, then other parents write comments about their own experiences. The two of them compile their findings into a concise report that they call an "ECF".
The inclusion of sales pitches, however, is not something that is banned in CFAH forums. If a reviewer is not satisfied with the product, or the parent is dissatisfied with the product, they are quite happy to warn other parents about the reviews. In fact, many CFAH forums have become places where parents can voice complaints about product malfunctions without fear of being flooded with sales pitches. This is a good thing because not everyone is interested in getting caught up in marketing. Still, some business owners may see this as an opportunity to gain some publicity for their business.
Review websites, even those that do not sell CBD products, have benefits beyond helping parents make an informed decision. By contributing their honest review about a new product, they help save money for both parents and manufacturers alike. If parents in rural areas cannot afford to buy CBD supplements, then they may want to try to supplement their diets with a good quality nutritional supplement. When they post a CFAH review online, other parents may pick up their phones and offer to send them CBD supplements if the review is good.
