Comments on: The Jelly Bean Rule, VitaminWater, and MonaVie http://www.juicescam.com/the-jelly-bean-rule-vitaminwater-and-monavie/ Is MonaVie a Scam? Thu, 02 Feb 2012 07:51:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: MonaVie Scam http://www.juicescam.com/the-jelly-bean-rule-vitaminwater-and-monavie/comment-page-1/#comment-32369 MonaVie Scam Sat, 04 Dec 2010 16:35:01 +0000 http://www.juicescam.com/?p=322#comment-32369 I don't think I said that all healthy things are approved by the FDA. The point was that products can't trick consumers with health claims that are simply not true. These requirements are there to help consumers, but it looks like Keara isnt interested in that. Why research vitamins in high doses on a site about MonaVie which has almost no vitamins. Yes, please get away from this site if you are going to continue to discuss the FDA and not the topic of MonaVie. I don’t think I said that all healthy things are approved by the FDA.

Yes, please get away from this site if you are going to continue to discuss the FDA and not the topic of MonaVie.

The FDA didn't approve it so it's not healthy?!? The FDA won't even shut down factories that have more than 1 food contamination incident are behind a commission called Codex Alimentarius that is going to make sure that ALL PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD will no longer have any rights to buying NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS in high doses to cure disease or treat minor illness. I'm so disgusted in this website. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!! Do your research on VITAMINS IN HIGH DOSES, MIRACLE FOODS, and the FDA's horrible ghost writing tactics. Wow... I gotta get away from this site.. (lol) LOL!!! The FDA didn’t approve it so it’s not healthy?!?

There’s a little section on “exotic fruits” with the following bit regarding acai:

“Not a single published study has looked at
whether people who drink it are any healthier than people who don’t.”

That is commonplace these days. The problem is that saying MonaVie is healthy barely scratches the surface of what this company and its clients are doing. I am no expert but the Wikipedia page on Camu Camu berries (ingredient in MonaVie) is supposed to be chock full of Vitamin C. Could this contribute to the percentage in one ounce?

It is also true that other food marketers use the same techniques. However, I wouldn't say that it makes it right or legal. I would expect a drink making all the health claims it has made to pass the Jelly Bean Rule with flying colors. It is true that many other juices would run afoul of the Jelly Bean Rule as well.

MonaVie is 100% fruit juice and its nutritional value is on par with most fruit juices on the market. A daily serving of 4 ounces could be considered a serving of fruit. Moreover, the "official" health claims are carefully worded, e.g., "Powerful antioxidants found in fruits—like those in MonaVie—help prevent cellular damage by neutralizing free radicals." Now that isn't the same as saying MonaVie helps prevent cellular damage, but that technique is the same used by most food marketers.
