This is sad and scary.
Be careful out there, guys!
it is the girls that fall for it, never seen a guy buying Herbalife.
Very important information. Thank you.
Don’t you just love this channel? 🙂
Yikes! Those are some dirty supplements.
I am getting hit by Grunes commercials
I was getting smoothies from a local smoothie and herbal tea shop near me for the last year or so when I read something about them being a front for people to sell Herbalife supps. I looked into their website and there wasn’t any mention of Herbalife upfront but when I looked at the products for sale page, they had loads of Herbalife stuff. That explains why they couldn’t swap ingredients like I asked once. It’s all a packet plus some ice in a blender. Darn, tasted pretty good and was convenient for me. I’m better off making my own, anyway! 🙂
i really wantd to support my local smoothie place but same thing happened. they couldnt do the simplest swaps for dietary needs so i could only have one of the smoothies anyway 😞
Back in the late 80s or early 90s my dad was a big Herbalife person and probably took 25 or more pills a day… Totally crazy
Damn scary!
Can’t trust all the brands out there. Best to eat what you know is safe. You are what you eat!
Can we trust any of these companies??
NO!
