Scientific exclamations of this sort
have lost gravity about 50 years ago. With a gazillion different studies proving that eating oranges with your left
hand makes you sneeze 4,16 more percent on average, or contradicting each other on important issues like global
warming, its not much of a surprise.
Plus there are hundreds of people in this forum alone who have had
undoubtable empirical experience with mones and couldnt care less what some bugger in a lab coat who hasnt gotten
laid since his previous life as a mayfly thinks :D

Sounds hostile. Anecdotal
evidence, and minimal scientific data of effects attributed to involvement of the human VNO is what I attempted to
address, not the effectiveness of pheromones. Perhaps you will take this opportunity to offer a citation to any
recent research that supports the concept of a functional human VNO, rather than merely advise others to ignore
scientific evidence, since --if I read you correctly-- you think it is all irrelevant.
Not that there's
anything wrong with that, especially if you're marketing products that you believe activate the non-existent human
VNO pathway to hormonal and behavioral change. For all I know, you're just doing your job as a marketer.

Me? Marketer? Sounds paranoid.
Fanboy, maybe :).
Hostility towards present day "scientific" scene, which for the most part follows popular
demand? Naturally. There have been several studies linked here which were in favor of a functional VNO. And several
which havent.
It is pretty well known that humans have a very underdevelopped VNO, compared to other
species. Still, theres a remnant of it there, and some people are able to detect them consciously. So even if the
original chemical receptors dont work, theres a psychologically conditioned link (the smells being only detected in
certain scenarios).
