Instagram influencer, The FoodPharmer deleted his video, calling out the misleading information on Cadbury's Bounrvita product. Essentially, the product claimed improved brain activity, improved muscles, improved immune system and improved bone health. All of these require empirical evidence for confirmation. Cadburys has made a statement that they have designed the product on scientific basis, which means there has to be published studies backing their claims. Here are the ones I found: 1. A study showed that caffeine content in Bournvita was higher than other similar cocoa based products. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1079… 2. Pregnant women in Nigeria AVOIDED Bournvita due to fear of developing "big babies" and complicated labour/delivery. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6125… 3. Another study showed that Bournvita product changes color due to inherent changes in pH due to its "sugary" content. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article… 4. The last paper I came across anything remotely to Cadbury's the maker of Bournvita is this one: "Critics say UNICEF-Cadbury partnership is mere sugarwashing." - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article… Basically, the claims of scientific methods or studies and the scientific evidence for everything that is written on the Bournvita product is not backed by good evidence and thus, Cadbury's claims are misleading on muscle and bone growth, immunity enhancement and brain development - there are no controlled studies to show the same. Considering the high sugar content of 71%, per serve 20g has 14.2g sugar which is approx. 57% of recommended upper daily limit and this will only increase if more milk is added, or additional sugar used over the day. Hence "claim" that using the product as advised is safe is also a misleading one. Big Food Pharma must come with empirical evidence rather than muscle tactics to prove a point. Herbalife did the same with me when I reported on the death of a young woman after consuming Herbalife products. The motto of FMCG industry is: "Protect the business at any cost, call out and persecute the whistleblowers and keep the consumers ignorant all the while throwing them under the bus."

You knew what Mondelez-Cadbury's did to The FoodPharmer when he called out the low quality in their Bounrvita product. Now please listen to this very serious issue that has been happening on the side lines with respect to another company and their products. BIG MUSCLES protein powder. The YouTube influencer and Bodybuilding specialist Satvik Pandey (@satvik_pandey_ ) had analyzed Big Muscles protein and found that they were scamming the consumers. The label said one thing, but the analysis revealed something completely different. youtube.com/watch?v=VpnBJgBx… He found that Big Muscles was 'amino spiking' their products - meaning, using low quality amino acids to bump up overall protein content, which artificially inflates protein quantity falsely making consumers believe that they are getting high-quality supplement. In reality, they are getting very less protein content, with additives that cost you a lot more. Not just Satvik, but other fitness influencers also found the same thing with Big Muscles. Trustified (on the All About Nutrition Channel) also found the same plus additionally, heavy metals and low protein than labelled in Big Muscles. youtube.com/watch?v=WoAtSO36… But the story starts here. Big Muscles have now started to harass the well-meaning and important for public health, Satvik Pandey with a series of serious troubling steps. They did not go legal. They did not file a court case. Instead, they sent the Delhi Police to hound him. The very concerning issues that happened with Satvik was made public recently on his YT channel - youtube.com/watch?v=z5F86S_Z… Its crazy what he went through. Big Muscles sent cops to him telling him that during a meeting, they will PAY HIM to take the videos off. When he was clear that was not happening, then the senior cops in Delhi Police started harassing him with multiple calls and station visits. At one point, one cop tells Satvik's lawyer - "we know the work you did was truthful, but truth comes with a price." - and bargained for a bribe to let it slide. Satvik did not yield. So, the senior Police Officer was called in the next time. Satvik showed him all the documents of analysis from approved/authorized labs - the police did not bother. He said, "show any number of documents, none of that will matter, until you yield." - because he was clearly paid by the Company to shut Satvik up. The Delhi Police then gave out Satvik's home address - they doxxed him. [Doxxing: search for and publish private or identifying information about (a particular individual) on the internet, typically with malicious intent.] Satvik very clearly mentions that if anything bad happens to him/his family, then the CEO, the Marketing Head (the person who harassed Satvik the most) and CEO's father were to blame. BUT THE REAL REASON WHY I AM WRITING THIS TWEET IS BECAUSE - Satvik's findings are CORRECT. Because in our well planned and designed Protein Project (see here xitter.cf/theliverdr/statu…), we found EXACTLY what Satvik describes with Big Muscles. It WAS THE WORST protein in our study. Big muscles Frotein Whey, with an advertised 76.5%, but detected a protein of 26.1%; Big Muscles Vegan Protein, with an advertised 81.3% and detected 19.4% protein. xitter.cf/theliverdr/statu… Big Muscles was also the worst when it came to 'MISLABELLING' their product. See here xitter.cf/theliverdr/statu… Big Muscles was also one among the few which contained pesticide residue and also traces of Cadmium and Lead xitter.cf/theliverdr/statu… & xitter.cf/theliverdr/statu… I am a clinical-scientist and I have the largest peer-reviewed published evidence of analytical work on herbal and dietary supplements in the world at present. I support Satvik's findings and I would like every one of you to please look out for him and get him the support he needs. Please retweet so that this reaches many, and as Satvik mentions in his video, let more people test (costs <1000 INR) and bring evidence that will help him come out winning. Big Muscles maybe big on muscle tactics, but brains beat brawn any day.

20/30 Results - III (cont) ..Ultra-soy protein by Forever Life. Complete results of heavy metal detection is below. I would be cautious about any amount of Lead in products as there is no safe level of Lead. Even high levels of Copper isnt ideal as it is toxic to brain/liver.

Wow.... she just admitted at #Davos that they were working on the #CovidVaccine before Jan 2020.... even before Covid hit the world !! Talk of #truthleaks !! #COVID19 @wef @DrAseemMalhotra @awakenindiamvmt @PMOIndia xitter.cf/abolishwokeness/status…
The fake journalists don’t even UNDERSTAND what they have just revealed. An admission that the so-called conspiracy theory that the fake vaccines were created before the fake pandemic, was actually the TRUTH. #vaccinegenocide #vaccineregret #COVIDー19 xitter.cf/healthbyjames/status/1…
