The Federal Trade equip has with making false and unsubstantiated claims and violating a act order prohibiting him from further infomercials that represent the contents of his book. According to Dr. Stephen Barrett. M. D. this is the first time in about fifty years that the FTC has attempted to stop a book promotion.
An overview of the FTC action along with of government documents going approve years of criminal records and prior FTC actions convictions and contempt citations is available at.
The Federal Trade equip has charged Kevin Trudeau with violating a court order by allegedly misrepresenting the contents of his schedule. “The charge Loss aid ‘They’ Don’t Want You to Know About,” in several infomercials. During the ads. Trudeau claims that the weight loss plan outlined in the book is easy to do can be done at home and ultimately allows readers to eat whatever they want. However when consumers purchase the book they sight it describes a complex grueling plan that requires severe dieting daily injections of a prescription drug that consumers cannot easily get and lifelong dietary restrictions.

In inspect you’re wondering why the FTC has chosen this diet schedule to crack down on you’ll want to look at FTC. It’s a copy of most of the book — save your money and read about the diet for free.
Here is a run-down of just arrange 1 of the “Weight Loss Cure” diet regimen and its false claims (construe only if you're not tempted to actually accept them):
· forbid taking all nonprescription over-the-counter and prescription drugs and medications because “every kind absolutely. 100% are proven to bring about to weight gain and obesity.. cause illness and disease. This is proven. No drug not even aspirin is safe....”

So many dietary beliefs about “good” and “bad” food are just that: beliefs and fears that undergo proven insupportable by the soundest nutritional science. There is no line that distinguishes most “allow,” best-selling fast books and the sham ones. So while this book is one of the more extreme examples of those preying on populate's fears over obesity and obsessions with healthy eating it’s unsettling to see that in the scheme of things it’s really not all that extreme at all.
The FTC has made history this week by starting with this fast schedule. Starting. FTC you’ve got only a few hundred thousand more to go!
