And another "health food" in trouble for making false claims!

You may be familiar with these "Smoothie" drinks from a company called NAKED (owned by Pepsi). Well, as it turns out the contents of these drinks aren't all-natural after all. Naked just agreed to settle a $9 MILLION dollar class action lawsuit for false labeling.

The drink is said to include 11 chemical additives, including Calcium pantothenate, which is synthetically produced from Formaldehyde. Here's a little info about Formaldehyde; Ingestion of as little as 30 mL (1 oz.) of a solution containing 37% formaldehyde has been reported to cause death in an adult human. Water solution of formaldehyde is very corrosive and its ingestion can cause severe injury to the upper gastrointestinal tract.


Moral to the story?  Forget  the Pills and Potions and eat your fruits and veggies or juice them yourself


Want to naturally curb your appetite?

1. Make sure you are getting adequate calories and the correct macro nutrient balance  
2. Identify if you are eating from habit or hunger
3. Eat more fiber . RDA is 25g a day. Fiber fills you up and helps with the break down of sugar in your body. Most people get 5-10g
4. Don't go more than 4 hours without eating to keep your blood sugar level and avoid binging. 
5. Don't eat a carbohydrate without a protein to keep blood sugar and insulin levels even and tame hunger
