The State Administration of Market Regulation demystifies health food scams

Drinking crocodile drinks can cure tumors, small molecule peptide foods can cure diseases, mysterious functional water can cure diseases, tableting candy can fight cancer.

Since the 100-day action of the state to rectify the chaos in the health care market this year, the State Administration of Market Supervision has exposed 100 typical cases five times, and various health care product scams have surfaced

The advertisement of the miracle medicine blows into the sky, and there is no disease that cannot be cured

The crux of the chaos in the health care market lies in the fact that in recent years, the false publicity of health food has been repeatedly prohibited, and even bragged about the fraud of consumers as a miracle drug, resulting in some sick elderly people stopping drugs without authorization after misbelief and eating

Deception 1: New and peculiar, crocodile blood can cure diseases

Can crocodile blood kill tumor cells and even HIV? Market supervision law enforcement personnel found that in order to promote the crocodile food and beverages it operates, a company in Beijing has played an advertising slogan that is inconsistent with the facts: "Crocodiles must not have cancer for life, the hemoglobin amino acid chain in their blood has a very peculiar structure, the oxygen carrying capacity is more than 100 times that of other animals, and the blood is extremely rich in superoxide compounds, dismutase and a super peptide, which has a strong ability to inhibit and kill tumor cells" "Crocodile serum can kill HIV

Deception 2: High-tech + Chinese Medicine, KI Polysaccharide "Chinese Medicine Cures Uninformed Diseases and Rehabilitation of Chronic Diseases"

A company in Shanghai claimed that its products can regulate cancer, the company through the business premises billboards, official websites, WeChat public accounts, micro-publications, publicity folding, company monthly magazines and other ways to release the company and business products including KI polysaccharides (solid drinks), Lilai porridge (solid drinks) and KI cereal and vegetables full meal (solid drinks) advertising, and in food advertisements, the product has "activated immune cells, can promote the normalization of the immune system", "traditional Chinese medicine treatment of diseases and chronic disease rehabilitation".

Deception three: dare to flicker, ordinary food home textile appliances can cure tumors

When the relevant law enforcement departments in Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, inspected a home textile products business department on the spot, they found that they were organizing the elderly to experience marketing, and publicized that the products they sold had disease treatment functions, such as relieving muscles and activating blood, relieving pain and stasis, cleaning blood lipids, improving the prostate, alleviating gout symptoms, changing rheumatoid rheumatoid lesions, treating tumors, etc.

A food trading house in Lishui, Zhejiang Province, has to fool a tablet candy belonging to ordinary food into a miracle drug with anti-cancer, anti-aging, anti-viral, anti-radiation, balance blood lipid and blood pressure and other effects, the parties targeted the elderly as target customers, to hold promotional activities and have free gifts as bait, in batches have lured 105 elderly people to the store business premises to receive propaganda

Trick Four: Playing with the Concept Of Small Molecule Peptides Can Inhibit Cancer Cells and Cure Diseases

The (Fudi) small molecule peptide distributed by a company in Hainan is a food product of solid beverages, and its salesman Su Mou declared when selling that "this product is food, not a drug, and it is a cellular nutrition food that overrides

Health food has only these 27 kinds of effects

Health food refers to food that claims to have health functions or is intended to supplement vitamins, minerals and other nutrients

Health food is not a drug, not for the purpose of treating diseases, can regulate some functions of the body, suitable for specific groups of people to eat

According to the "Life Times" article, at present, the "deception" of health food is constantly escalating, which has made people invincible

1, from stars to experts, advertising is hidden

Case: 65-year-old Zhang Caili, a hypertensive patient for many years, once met someone to sell antihypertensive health products

Anti-scam guide

First, if the "experts" do not have specific units, but are only summarized as "well-known old Chinese medicine", "academicians of the two academies", etc.

Second, although the elderly are experienced, young people are more rational in their thinking and have a wider range of knowledge, so they may wish to help distinguish between

2, from preferential to free, the way to make money is long-term

Case: Hu Xianhua (pseudonym), who lives in Shandong, is 80 years old and has had leg pain for more than 20 years

Anti-scam guide

Greed and cheapness are the weaknesses of human nature, especially the elderly in our country from the planned economy period, the government has a strong control over society, social relations are relatively simple, and the values formed from this tend to believe in others
.
But the elderly should remember that "there is no free lunch in the world", greedy and cheap will often suffer big losses, do not be swayed
by small favors.

Learn health knowledge through formal channels, not hearsay; Learn to identify the true and false effects of health care products, and understand that health care products are only food, and there is no exact efficacy
.
For example, "chondroitin tablets" can improve bone density, but it may not cure knee pain
.
There are many ways to improve bone density, such as more sun exposure, drinking more milk, etc.
, and it is not necessary to rely on health care products
.

3, from sales to affection, the way of fraud is emotional

Case: Since Grandma Hu in the above case bought the first box of products, a person who calls herself Xiao Li has specifically "docked"
with her.
Xiao Li will especially coax the old man to be happy, no matter how bad the mood, as long as he receives her call, the old man will instantly open his eyes and smile
.
On the first day of the Chinese New Year this year, Xiao Li came to visit early in the morning, holding the hands of the old man and saying intimate words
.
Grandma Hu's daughter smiled bitterly and said, "This little Li is closer to my mother than my daughter-in-law
.
" I can't really say those meaty words
.
No wonder I always dissuaded my mom
.
”

Anti-scam guide

First of all, children should have the mentality of protecting the elderly, do not blame, and be more comforted
.
Second, reflect on whether you only reprimand the elderly, but do not take the time to care about their pain; Do you only know to throw out a sentence of "go to the hospital" without personally accompanying them
.
Children should take the initiative back, take their parents to have regular physical examinations, take the initiative to buy them healthy food, and write down the doctor's guidance and paste it to their parents' homes
.

More importantly, children should help the elderly establish a safe and stable emotional connection and give them a full sense of security, so that they will not spend their feelings
on the cheater.

Finally, the persuasion of children often arouses the rebellious psychology of the elderly, and the elderly are more accustomed to listening to the opinions of their peers, which is also a herd mentality, at which time it is advisable to rely on the strength of
other elders.
