Over the past year I have heard many people talking about Advocare or using Advocare products. Lots of talk about how Advocare is the healthy choice in weight-loss or body building. I decided to check into Advocare and see how healthy their products really are. I am glad I did!

First, Advocare does not list all it’s ingredients online. Why is that? Because they have a lot to hide. They have so much to hide that they even go as far as trying to discredit organic products. They even try to justif their reasoning for using GMO products! Frankly, they sound stupid.

Let’s take a look at their justification of using GMOs. Here is their link, but I am also providing a screen shot just incase they ever take this down. Advocare’s View on Organic

This quote is laughable

“Many people are either misinformed or misguided about the concepts of something being organic, natural and safe. The world’s most toxic substances are all “natural” and can be defined as “organic”. Furthermore, something that is synthetic or man-made is not automatically bad or harmful. Without a host of synthetic chemicals including antibiotics, antineoplastics, herbicides and pesticides, the life expectancy in this country would not have increased from less than 50 years of age to over 75 years of age in the last 60 years.”

They even try to pass off high fructose corn syrup as being a natural substance that we should not be concerned about. This is a fantastic quote straight from Advocare’s website,

“Summary: fructose is found widely distributed in fruits and vegetables as well as in HFCS. Fructose is fructose regardless of the source”. Also love this quote, “There are approximately 30 sweeteners approved by the FDA for human consumption that are deemed to be safe and effective when used appropriately”. List of sweeteners in Advocare products

When they are not using high fructose corn syrup, they are using Sucralose. Sucralose is just another name for Splenda. Splenda is a toxic artificial sweetener. Sucralose or Splenda is actually a sugar molecule, fructose molecule and three different types of Chlorine molecules. Yes, Chlorine. Splenda was actually used as a pesticide before it was used as a sweetener. When the creators discovered Splenda was sweet, they decided to market it as a sweetener. You can find more about this online. I am off on a tangent. Anyway… Advocare believes this to be part of your healthy choice in choosing their products.

Bottom line – Advocare does not care about selling you a healthy product. Just one that makes them money. Please take a moment to look into all the ingredients you are putting into your body… not just with Advocare, but with all the food you eat.

Thanks for reading 😉
