TNI IPC’s not happy with HIRO
March 16, 2007

Tahitian Noni International IPC’s (independent product consultants, which is what they call the people who get recruited into the MLM pyramid) are voicing concerns over the use of Sucralose in the HIRO energy drinks.

Eva Denes, an IPC from Spain wrote “Not only contains sucralose but also Acesulfame-K. If it had Stevia instead, I’d go all over the place promoting it. As a nutricionist I cannot recommend it with good conscience“.

Nate Hicks, another Noni distributor first wrote, “I am fired up about HIRO and i’m just as much in the dark as you all are. I have heard on one conf call that we need to RECRUIT, RECRUIT, RECRUIT….This will help our teams explode when HIRO is launched”. And then a few days later wanted to get some “ducks in a row” regarding the ingredients of HIRO while asking; “If this is an all natural drink then how come it has sucralose in it which is an artifical sweetener…Don’t take this the wrong way at all, i just want all of us to have our ducks in a row first because we all know that the true health nuts out there will be all over this so we just need to be ready for it…any ideas???”

Coinciding with the introduction of the HIRO health drinks (marketed under the name taHiro outside of the US) it is known that the companies behind Splenda have been buying hundreds of domain names with implied negative and dangerous sounding words, such as splendakills.com, victimsofsplenda.com, splendatoxicity.com. Which shows the manufacturers of Sucralose/Splenda expect some kind of consumer backlash over the chemical compound and wish to pre-empt any of those domains from falling into the hands of consumer advocates and support groups.

Alan Clough, another TNI has been so kind as to publish his thoughts:

I had a chance to taste all 3 Hiros last night. I was not impressed. Sweet lightly carbonated taste with a chemical after taste. Some of them have a background vitamin taste. I am very disappointed that this company has decided to use two controversial poorly tested artificial sweeteners . These sweeteners could be harmful to people health! Why they could not use a “Sugar in the raw brown sugar” from Hawaii or honey is beyond me. I assume it was to keep the calories lower but these substitutes could threaten our health ! Is a bad trade off.

I hate to rain on this $$ parade but I cannot as they are now formulated buy or offer my friends family these questionable products. This glossy launch of a noni based power drink product that is supposed to be a healthier alternative to these other power drinks could all bite us in the lower extremities as folks have health issues and law suites start flying. I sent a Email to Kelly Olsen asking him why they have come out with these products with these potential health problems that could affect IPCS and their customers that they say they love?

Sorry this smacks of a run for the $ with a flawed product.
Thoughts anyone?

This Capitalistic society has been scamming everything or anyone that moved or could be fooled. This whole society is built on deceit. Far too many of our people are being killed and lied to by our politicians daily. Everyone is being used by (it was a set of beads some time ago)someone else all for the almighty dollar. It is amazing how everyone has a problem with some one who has a dream for financial freedom. It’s another thing to sit back and see that the Social Security System that millions have paid into is another scam. Lets take a look at the WAR ON DRUGS, if that’s not a joke I don’t know what is. Our government allows the contraband to enter, and then will lock you up for selling it or worse yet using it. Everyone has a dream to be well off, some don’t care who they hurt because it is all about the money anyhow. Well, let’s drink the juice and a few get better or rich. Or keep the poor hopelessly lost in this world of financial blunders so that those on the top will have somewhere or someone to crap on. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY.

Well said. Noni “IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY”. Being scammed by corrupt politicians or scammed by fake friendly juice salespeople. In the end there’s people on this planet who like to not be scammed by either.

Hmmmm…..lets see. Noni is all about the money. The last time I talked to a noni fruit it did not mention anything about the money. Yes, TNI is a corporation in business to make money. Your relentless despise for TNI should be obvious to all who visit and read your pages. I am a TNI distributor but I am not a fake friendly juice salesperson. I am a scientist by profession and I read the research articles on noni, artificial sweetners, and other natural herbs. Here’s the bottom line, while natural herbs and plants such as aloe vera, cayenne, and echinacea and noni were and still are used to treat a variety of health issues there are some medical conditions that can become deadly if these substances are used or combined with other prescription drugs. Anyone who drinks noni juice or uses any other natural herbs or plants should consult with their doctor to be certain it will not interfere with their medication or their health. This advice is not to say noni juice will harm you it is meant to tell you to be conscientious about your health. The same warning applies to exercise too! The problem in many cases, and what you should say without being so cynical, is many distributors are recruited into the business by people who are not educated on the product. I did not make my decision to become a distributor on the pitch of some zealous distributor who wanted me to add $$$$$$ to their pockets as part of their downline. There are many distributors who could care less about the product and they are only seeing the money and they recruit with this attitude too. I do not and will not sell a bottle of juice or a can of HIRO to anyone without talking to them about their current state of health. I explain what’s in the product. I direct them to research sites where they can read about specific ingredients and urge them, if health problems are present, to consult with their doctor before deciding to drink the juice or any HIRO beverage. Some noni juice contains vitamin K which can be a fatal combination in people who are taking heart medication and blood thinners. TNI’s noni juice does not contain vitamin K. When was the last time Red Bull or Monster Energy drink disclosed potential risks of their ingredients in their advertising? Lash out at them will you! Coca Cola will take blood off the sidewalk and corrosion off a battery and their diet version contains those artificial sweetners. So call a spade a spade. Put out a warning on everything. Buy every product, have YOUR scientists analyze them in controlled environments then put your mouth where the research is. If you want to rant about noni then rant about all noni juice manufacturers. If you are so against a company making money then go on a crusade to end capitalism in America. Who really P—-d you off? Do you own a house, drive a car, buy electronics, eat food other than that grown by your own hand, drink anything that does not come out of a well, or pay for website hosting and internet service? The last two you do and you are even making money off the ads by Google. Shame on you you capitalistic money monger. It appears that being a capitalist and living in a capitalistic society ain’t all that bad afterall, eh Noni Watch?

Lashing out at Red Bull or Monster? Well, clearly any drinks that use chemical compounds such as Splenda/Sucralose are to be warned about and people should know what it is they are putting into their bodies. You can read about that on the splenda.worldwidewarning.net site. That’s not our effort, but we’re glad someone else does put in the effort of collecting articles and research and information. You might want to ask them about Red Bull or Monster.

Putting out a warning on everything? If we had enough time we probably would if that which is to be warned about is worth warning about. You’re welcome to put in some effort where you feel it is important.

Rant about ALL noni juice manufacturers? Well, if you had taken some time to examine the site you will find that we do. Of course, TNI prides itself on being the most well known and market leader so you will find information regarding TNI in proportion to their market share on our site. If you read closely you will also find that we do not generally just rant for the sake of ranting, instead we provide valuable information to the consumers out there which are written by scientists, researchers, consumers, experts, and everything in between, who write articles about the noni juice pyramid scams.

Going on a crusade to end capitalism in America? It’s quite a leap to go from issues of capitalism to charlatanism and scams. Not all capitalism involves nor requires that. Though perhaps the debt.worldwidewarning.net site is doing that by what looks like a lot of information regarding the credit pitfalls that banks are keen on inflicting on the nation. And, why only a crusade against capitalism in America? Why not another country? Or all? Maybe you should petition the worldwidewarning network and start your own anti-capitalism site. It’s just a suggestion.

Pay for website hosting? Making money off of the site? No, we don’t. If you had done some actual research like you claim you have gone with Noni, you would have learned that we don’t make any money off of it at all and that this site is part of the worldwidewarning network. Seeing as you have not been able to determine that, I would have to question your research abilities as a scientist.
