Old Forum Defense Nutrition sued

[Deleted member 316]

I googled Defense Nutrition last night to check out the forums to see what was going on. I noticed a link down the google search page that said Defense Nutrition was sued, so I chekcked it out. Apparently something about the claims made for their whey are false and the nutrition label is false. Just wondering if anyone else knows anything else? I thought Ori was on the up and up?

This is the first I'm hearing of this, but he's innocent until proven guilty, as is everyone.

Here was the outcome I found, settled back in April.  This brief article also (IMHO) highlights how labels are intentionally deceitful, as in the example given of "pasture fed" vs. "grass-fed."

Pasture: Grass or other vegetation eaten as food by grazing animals.

The label intentionally elicits imagery that simply isn't true.  Good time to read Orwell,

I met with a company this past weekend that produces a grass-fed whey product.

Started using the products this week after returning from Salt Lake. They use an interesting blend of Stevia and monk fruit to eliminate that funky aftertaste.

They seem to get how simplicity in nutrition supports our training.

As our conversations progress, we may even have someone from their company at our certifications.
