The woman leading the legal charge — Uttra Kumari Krishnan — claimed she spent years buying glucosamine sulfate products that allegedly contained no glucosamine sulfate. Glucosamine sulfate is produced by combining glucosamine and mineral salt. Krishnan claims that a University of British Columbia professor hired to test a bottle of "Webber Naturals Glucosamine Sulfate 500 mg Capsules" found they did not contain "glucosamine sulphate or so-called glucosamine sulfate potassium chloride." Branch reached for the dead parrot sketch again when considering whether Health Canada's approval for glucosamine sulfate mattered more when it came to suing than if the product actually contained glucosamine sulfate. The dead parrot sketch is a particular favourite.
