Occasionally we receive complaints from people who see diet product and weight-loss advertisements while visiting our website. NEDIC does not allow these advertisements and links on the site, and they are in no way connected to our organization. If you have seen a diet product or weight-loss advertisement while visiting our site, or have clicked on an underlined text link from our content that took you to a product advertisement, you most likely have a "spyware" or "adware" program running on your computer. This uninvited, unwanted type of viral software connects your computer to large advertising databases, resulting in pop-up advertisements related to the topic you are exploring.
