Only 2 out of 12 supplement companies were found to have products that were even accurately labeled. Are there any safe and effective dietary supplements for weight loss?
I similarly covered weight-loss medications in Are Weight-Loss Pills Safe? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/are-weight-loss-pills-safe) and Are Weight-Loss Pills Effective? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/are-weight-loss-pills-effective/).
So what’s the best way to lose weight? Find out in my book: How Not to Diet (https://nutritionfacts.org/how-not-to-diet/).

Fines are just the cost of doing business. The FDA uses fines as a form of taxation, if they cared about public health they'd seize all the companies' assets.
I love you! 🌻

Does this still apply to the essentials like D, b12 and DHA? How do we choose a manufacturer of those?
Imagine if dietary weight loss supplements were mandated on the population to stop the spread of obesity, so much so you couldn't even get on a plane in certain states or even travel in some countries. Then imagine that these supplements didn't work and doctors and scientists who pointed it out were banned off social media and had their careers ended. Worse than that those injured by those supplements could not seek legal redress because these supplement manufacturers received immunity from the government. Additionally, these victims would be ignored by the TV networks, who derive a considerable amounts of money selling air time to these large supplement manufacturers. Likewise, Big Supplement would have an army of lobbyists to ensure nobody in government ever makes laws changes to hurt their industry. Social media, not wanting to be cut off from big supplement advertising would also do their part to prevent those injured by this mandated supplement from sharing their stories online, because it would cause supplement hesitancy. Imagine that the influence of these supplement companies and their failed weight loss product would extend to the CDC–whose employees frequently leave and work for these companies afterward for a substantial increase in pay–and the WHO so that they create policy which promotes and protects these products. . …..Sounds crazy, I know. Glad we don't have to worry about that.
I love this channel!
Sadly this will never change until legislation exists to actually give agencies like FDA the teeth they need to crack down on this. As it is now there's only so much they can do.

Dr Greger looks a little bit sad. Hope he's ok.
Quit eating the grain and seed oils and the weight would fall off you. Oh thats right Vegans depend on grain to get the proper nutrition since they dont eat nutricion filled animals. Oh the irony having to rely on supplements because your diet is so poor in nutrients and because your diet promotes mono crop agriculture that rapes the soil of its minerals and nutrients. Nothing remotely regenerative about a vegan diet.
Crazy that they get away with this without some jail time.
LOTS of houseplants are poisonous…..just saying….
It's so wild and scary how the market looks. Thank you for sharing <3
Dr. Gregor, Right now, I am helping others with their diets. People keep asking me for help. The biggest issue is with the guys. They just dont want to let go of the meat. Is it still healthy to reduce meat consumption if the person doesn't want to be vegan.
For instance, for one person, I reduced his meat by 70%. I made him a chili with less meat & more veggies with whole grain bread. He likes it & has been eating it for a week. Today I gave him soy milk & flax. All week he has been going for a number 2 with a lot of burning & some rectal bleeding. I mean I think that's the plants pulling out the excess acid from his body that is causing him inflammation. This is a challenge for me. I'm worried I might be harming him. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
there must be a huge difference between these supplements in Europe and America, we have very strict laws
americans eats poison untill they became fat and sick and then consumed poison supplement for weight loss. and when their body shuts down, they took another poison drugs for that.
