DESCRIPTION: Multilevel marketing companies accused of using exaggeration and pseudoscience to promote potentially dangerous products such as Metabolife and Hydroxycut by designing studies that appear to purposely mislead consumers.

I've previously touched on these two liquid supplements in Is Noni Juice Good For You? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-noni-juice-good-for-you/) and Is Mangosteen Juice Good For You? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-mangosteen-juice-good-for-you/)

Other beverages to avoid include alcohol (Breast Cancer and Alcohol: How Much Is Safe?, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/breast-cancer-and-alcohol-what-much-is-safe/), soft drinks (Is Sodium Benzoate Harmful?, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-sodium-benzoate-harmful/), yerba maté (Update on Yerba Maté, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/update-on-yerba-mate/), and kombucha (Is Kombucha Tea Good For You?, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-kombucha-tea-goodfor-you/).

I prefer water (Does a Drink of Water Make Children Smarter?, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/does-a-drink-of-water-make-children-smarter/), white tea (Antimutagenic Activity of Green Versus White Tea, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/antimutagenic-activity-of-green-versus-white-tea/), and hibiscus tea (Better Than Green Tea?, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/better-than-green-tea/).
