Vox Media: Herbalife Science Is Definitely Garbage
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
Vox Media is one of the USA’s largest and fastest growing online publishers. Based in Washington DC, Vox owns and operates sites in distinct vertical categories: general news, sports, technology & culture, gaming, dining & nightlife, shopping & fashion, and design & real estate.
According to Vox:
On the Herbalife website, there’s a section dedicated to “science videos,” where various company stakeholders boast that they “guarantee the very best science” behind their products, which are all “science proven.”
Dig a little deeper, however, and it seems the evidentiary underpinnings of Herbalife’s wares boil down to only four very weak studies that can barely be called science, let alone the “very best science.” If this is Herbalife’s prime research and development, then the company’s science is definitely garbage and customers should question the health claims on its products.
A look at Herbalife’s clinical trials
On a dedicated science website, Herbalife cites four clinical trials to prove the safety and effectiveness of its products:
1) The first clinical study compares weight and fat loss in two groups of obese men and women: the first went on a diet involving protein enriched Herbalife meal-replacement shakes; the second dieted with a standard Herbalife shake. While the study shows that both groups

TriVita To Refund $3.5 Million In Product Claims Settlement
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
In its ongoing campaign to combat exaggerated health claims, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has reached a settlement with cactus juice marketer TriVita. The Arizona-based company agreed to refund consumers $3.5 million, settling FTC allegations that TriVita deceived consumers with unsupported claims about the health benefits of its Nopalea wellness drink.
Advertisements for Nopalea, which sold for up to $39.99 plus shipping and handling, billed the product as “Inflammation Relief without a Prescription.” The company’s frequently aired infomercials claimed the “prickly pear” fruit drink would treat a wide variety of other health conditions as well.
According to the FTC release, one featured TriVita’s Chief Science Officer, Brazos Minshew, linking inflammation to allergies, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease and diabetes.
In an ad featuring celebrity endorser and former supermodel Cheryl Tiegs, the former Sports Illustrated model claims, “If you’ve suffered from inflammation or chronic pain for years, there’s something that can help,” the FTC release quotes.
The agency also charged TriVita with failing to disclose its connections to the individuals featured in a separate infomercial. The ad featured testimonials by satisfied customers who were in fact paid employees of the company.
“These kinds of unfounded claims are unacceptable, particularly when they impact consumers’ health,” Jessica Rich, Director of the FTC’s Bureau

Hearing Impaired Associate Uses Talk Fusion To Communicate With The World
by Nicole Dunkley • • 0 Comments
Talk Fusion Associate Elena Shlaneva was born into a normal Russian family. She was the daughter of two loving parents and shared their Pskov home with a brother and twin sister.
Except Elena Shlaneva’s life was anything but normal; she was born deaf.
Her twin – in fact, and everyone else in her family – could hear. In order to deal with her hearing loss, Elena was sent to a special school, which meant she had to live apart from her family. Eventually the geographical and physical isolation took a toll on her.
“I always asked ‘Why was I the only one in my family who was deaf?’ I lived in constant pain,” Elena recalls. “I felt so bad about it, was so often in a bad mood, that I did not even want to live in the world of speakers.”
She dealt with her bitterness for 20 years with no hope in sight. She took a factory job, but felt that she had gone as far as she would ever be able to go. In her words: “just a plain, grey life.”
That would all change when a friend told her about Talk Fusion. With literally nothing to lose, she decided to try the
