FTC Craks Down On Fake News Site on Acai Berry Weight Loss





FTC Seeks to Halt 10 Operators of Fake News Sites from Making Deceptive Claims About Acai Berry Weight Loss Products

Internet Marketers Falsely Claim Endorsement from ABC, Fox News, CBS, CNN, USA Today, and Consumer Reports, FTC Alleges

The FTC cracks down on marketers who uses fake news site to promote Acai Berry weight loss products. The Federal Trade Commission is requesting federal courts to temporarily halt the allegedly deceptive tactics of 10 operations using fake news websites to market Acai Berry weight-loss products.  The FTC seeks to permanently stop this misleading practice and has asked courts to freeze the operations’ assets pending trial.
According to the FTC, the defendants operate websites that are meant to appear as if they belong to legitimate news-gathering organizations, but in reality the sites are simply advertisements aimed at deceptively enticing consumers to buy the featured acai berry weight-loss products from other merchants.

The FTC complaints allege that typical fake news sites have titles such as “News 6 News Alerts,” “Health News Health Alerts,” or “Health 5 Beat Health News.”  The sites often include the names and logos of major media outlets  – such as ABC, Fox News, CBS, CNN, USA Today, and Consumer Reports – and falsely represent that the reports on the sites have been seen on these networks.  An investigative-sounding headline on one such site proclaims “Acai Berry Diet Exposed:  Miracle Diet or Scam?”

The sub-headline reads, “As part of a new series:  ‘Diet Trends:  A look at America’s Top Diets’ we examine consumer tips for dieting during a recession.”  The article that follows purports to document a reporter’s first-hand experience with acai berry supplements – typically claiming to have lost 25 pounds in four weeks.
“Almost everything about these sites is fake,” said David Vladeck, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection.  “The weight loss results, the so-called investigations, the reporters, the consumer testimonials, and the attempt to portray an objective, journalistic endeavor.”  Get the full story here.

Want Fast Weight Loss?


Do you want fast weight loss?  Do you ever wish you could have the diet secrets of Holly Wood's starlets?  Well, I can't tell you that this is it.  But as soon as they find out about this, this could very well end up being it.

Achieving fast weight loss is a part of the power of Xyngular's fantastic Core4 weight loss product.  Erin Rhindress featured above is a walking, talking, living testimony to the power of Core4.  Read some of her positive comments below.

"As I stepped on the scale for the first time in over a year, I saw I was the heaviest I had ever been in my life-169 pounds. I realized that wearing a size 16 (when I'm only 5'2") is not a good thing! Through changing my lifestyle, I was able to get down to the 140’s, but I could not lose any more weight! That is, until I got a call from a good friend introducing me to CORE4!

In my first 9 days on CORE4, I lost 9 pounds, and within 3 weeks, I dropped 15 pounds!  After 5 weeks on CORE4 (and down 15 pounds), I went to the store to buy new clothes, as all my 10’s and 12’s were WAY TOO BIG now. I walked into the store wearing my baggy 12’s, and I walked out buying 2’s and 4’s! So not only did I lose 15 pounds on the CORE4 system, I lost 4 dress sizes too!
After 12 weeks on CORE4 I had dropped 24 pounds and 6 dress sizes! I am wearing size 0 Pants! I've NEVER been this small and vow to never be big again!

The best part of all of this is my checks (that I receive daily) paid for my new wardrobe ... not to mention paying off my debt! Economic crisis? No such thing with this company! Thank you CORE4 for giving me my life back!" -Erin Rhindress, MA

Obesity Epidemic Rampant in Pacific Island

Pacific nations battle obesity epidemic

According to YahooNews.com, "On Tonga's supermarket shelves, huge cans of corned beef the size of paint tins replaced traditional fare such as fish and coconuts long ago -- contributing to an obesity epidemic that sees the Pacific region ranked as the fattest in the world."

According to the article, "Meat in Tonga almost invariably comes in a tin, whether it be turkey breast, meat loaf, luncheon meat or Spam, which can be bought in a variety of forms including smoked, with chilli or laced with cheese for an extra calorie hit."

All of this has gotten a few professionals concerns including Tonga's Chief Medical Officer Malakai Ake.  He observed and said that all that, "junk meat" is loaded with salt and saturated fats, meaning islanders' waistlines continue to expand. "This is the biggest issue facing Tonga," he told AFP, citing soaring levels of weight-related coronary disease, diabetes and strokes among islanders."

Dr. Ake went on to say taht, "Every other day there's a funeral, a next-door neighbour, a relative, a friend. It's always heart disease, diabetes, it's ridiculous."

The article went on to say that, "The Tongan Health Department says more than 90 percent of the total population is classed as overweight and more than 60 percent is obese."  According to World Health Organisation (WHO) data released last year, "Pacific island nations account for eight of the top 10 countries where the male population is overweight or obese."

To add insult to injuries, the article stated that, "Fiji-based WHO nutritionist Temo Waqanivalu said, with diabetes rates in some Pacific nations close to 50 percent. Weight-related diseases are responsible for three-quarters of deaths in the region,"  You can get the full original story here.

Have you heard of the amazing successes that Xyngular family and friends are having in the fight against over weight and countering obesity?
