Shadow Group Again Uses Junk Science to Scare Consumers, Profit from Its Preferred Products
Washington- A recent “study” on protein powders by the so-called “Clean Label Project” falsely alleges there is a significant presence of contaminants in some products and that it could pose a serious safety threat to consumers. The group, denied a request by the Natural Products Association (NPA) to disclose the methodology and the data behind the allegations. CNN, which did not contact the NPA for comment, reported on the so-called study Wednesday.
“The Clean Label Project is full of it, and it’s a shame that no one at CNN did basic reporting by neither asking for the methodology for this sham of a study nor contacted the NPA for analysis and comment. Instead, CNN blindly reported what the Clean Label Project told them without verifying,” said Daniel Fabricant, Ph.D., President and CEO of the Natural Products Association. “In 2020, they pulled the exact same stunt attacking collagen supplements, but this so-called study is nothing but hot air. When we asked them to disclose its funders and the full methodology of the collagen study, they did not respond and instead hid from the truth. Again, we are demanding that they disclose this so-called study’s methodology instead of peddling misinformation and profiting from referred products to online retailers listed on its website.”
