China "laundering" DIRTY supplement ingredients through Canada
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
As part of our food research that we conduct at Natural News, the Health Ranger store, and CWC Labs, we have stumbled across an incredible fraud that needs to be brought to your attention.
Chinese companies that make contaminated food products and ingredients for supplements, superfoods and food mixes, protein powders, things like that, they found a new way to commit fraud.
They've set up shell companies in Canada And they are now laundering their dirty China products through Canada and claiming that they are from Canada.
So American formulators of foods and superfoods and supplements and so on, they are purchasing products from Canada that come with certificates and documentation that claim these products are Canadian when they're actually from China.
And the reason we know this is because we are a company that has many people from Taiwan in our company, and we can read Chinese, and we found documents from several vendors and sources that, since we can read the Chinese, we know that it's actually describing operations in China that are producing these products, which are then falsely labeled Canadian.
So this is product laundering.
I don't know what the right term is for it.
Food laundering?
I don't know.
Raw materials laundering?
It's a counterfeit operation and it's trying to use the good name of Canada to sell dirty contaminated products that are actually grown and harvested in China and often irrigated with the filthy polluted waters of communist China.
Which, of course, has almost a complete lack of environmental regulations.
It's not unusual, for example, for rice products in China to be irrigated with industrial wastewater.
So they'll have factories that are engaged in production of metal products.
They'll have heavy metals run off.
They'll have all kinds of solvent chemicals.
This goes into the rivers and streams, which is then used to irrigate crops like rice, which absorb a tremendous amount of water.
Thus, the rice crops become the bioremediation of the water supply in China.
The toxins go into the rice and then they export the rice to Canada to launder the rice and make it sound clean.
Oh, it's from Canada, you know, must be clean because Canada has environmental regulations.
And then it comes to America.
So American consumers are literally eating Chinese pollution and China is in the business of exporting pollution.
Dishonestly, deceptively, some of the stuff might be labeled organic even.
And as I've said before, much of so-called organic from China is a fraud.
There's document fraud, counterfeit fraud, lab fraud, science fraud, every kind of fraud you can imagine.
And now they're laundering it through Canada.
So those of you who are in the food and supplements industry, I know many of you listen to my podcast and read my website, Natural News.
Be warned.
That when you see products that claim to be from Canada, it may be a fraud.
Now, I don't want to in any way take away from truly Canadian products because Canada, as a general rule, Canada is a country that produces very clean foods and agricultural exports and so on.
But that's why China is using the name of Canada and these front companies to launder toxic Chinese products through Canada.
You may wonder, well, why didn't they set up front companies in, I don't know, India, let's say.
Well, because India is not really known for that clean of products either.
Frankly, you know, we've seen a lot of things from India that aren't necessarily that clean.
Not as bad as China, but not as good as Canada.
So China chose Canada to use the name of Canada to try to paint their dirty products as being clean.
And sadly, a lot of U.S. companies who are purchasing these raw materials, they don't have, let's say, Chinese people or Taiwanese people on their staff who can read Chinese characters like we do.
And for the most part, a lot of companies, they don't really dig too deeply into the certificates anyway.
They just want to see some sheets of paper.
Oh yeah, it passes this lab test, it passes this conformity, it has this pH, whatever.
And they just accept it and move on.
It's kind of like, I call it a don't see, don't tell policy in the food industry, in the supplements industry.
And a lot of these companies are just selling on Amazon.com anyway, which is a toxic cesspool of illegal products, by the way.
Even a Wall Street Journal investigation found that Amazon sells thousands of illegal, banned, expired products, unsafe products, products that contain extreme hazards to children, and so on.
You find all that on Amazon.com.
So a lot of these companies don't care What they're really selling, they just want to know if they have enough paperwork to cover their butts if something, if they get caught, let's say.
And usually they never get caught.
There's a recent story about Amazon.com saying that third-party vendors on Amazon just repackage all this expired food, expired supplements, and they sell it on Amazon quite successfully because Amazon doesn't police anything.
You can sell lead in a capsule on Amazon.com and Amazon won't stop you as long as you just call it a dietary supplement.
You can sell anything.
In fact, we've uncovered that.
We've covered the stories about high lead, high aluminum supplements sold by Amazon.com that contain what I would call crazy levels of toxic heavy metals.
And it's only going to get worse on Amazon because of now what China is doing by laundering their products through Canada.
All of this underscores the importance of purchasing products, whether it's foods or supplements or superfoods or even personal care products, from sources that you know are doing the lab testing.
And there aren't that many of us, frankly.
HealthRangerStore.com, as you know, we do the testing on all of our branded products.
We do extensive testing, glyphosate, AMPA, heavy metals testing, microbiology testing, and for some products, other types of testing, depending on the product.
And we're expanding the testing.
And that's because, you know, I buy products from my own store.
That's the only thing that I trust anymore because I've seen so much in this industry.
I don't trust vendors.
I don't trust their fake certificates.
I don't trust their fake organic claims.
I don't trust anything from China.
I don't trust anything from Amazon.
And now I've learned I can't trust anything that claims to be from Canada until I do more due diligence and find out whether it really is from Canada or not.
Sadly, that is now a new issue.
So I'm my own customer.
And by the way, when it comes Christmas time or birthdays, I send gifts to my own family members by just basically placing orders at my store and having it shipped to them.
That's what I give people for, you know, holidays.
I give them the gift of good health and good nutrition.
I wouldn't do that if I wasn't absolutely sure about the cleanliness and the purity and the safety of those products.
I'd taken myself I send them to my mom and even my grandmother, who's still living, by the way.
She's 101 now.
It's just amazing.
She's 101.
And I'll send her vitamin C and other supplements.
And she loves it.
She loves getting a box of supplements from the Health Ranger store.
But in any case, you won't live a century if you buy this toxic crap from China and Amazon.com.
Trust me.
It's not good for you.
You've got to get good sources.
You've got to go with somebody that does the lab testing.
And remember that we reject 80% of the raw materials for many different types of products that we're trying to get materials and we'll have samples sent in.
And we run them through the lab and they fail our tests.
And they ask, oh, do you want to buy this lot?
We say, nope.
So we keep running more and more tests on different lots from different vendors.
This is what we've been doing for years.
And then when we find a clean lot, we buy usually the whole lot.
We buy like thousands of pounds of that raw material, which is why we're always sold out all the time because we can't find enough clean material to even keep it in stock.
It's very frustrating.
It's very sad.
I mean, I guess if we didn't have ethics, we could sell a lot more stuff by lowering our standards, but I'm not going to do that.
For all the reasons I just mentioned, I'd rather have less stuff to sell but cleaner stuff than to sell more dirty stuff to more people.
That's not a win.
You know, I'm sorry, these people out there that are just about money, they just want to sell toxic crap and have their own selfish profit.
They don't care how many people they harm, you know, like the entire pharmaceutical industry, the vaccine industry, what have you.
I can't live like that.
No way.
I'm not sacrificing ethics and morals just to move more boxes.
Not a chance.
I've even said this before.
I'd rather, you know, if it comes down to where I can't even find anything to sell, then so be it.
I'll close the doors.
We'll just be out of business.
I'd rather sell nothing than sell dirty contaminated stuff to people.
And that's why we're going to stay small.
Like, we're never going to be any kind of a threat to Amazon.com.
We're never going to be for the masses.
Never.
We, what we do with clean food, lab testing, all of this detailed sourcing, all the rejecting and frankly angering a bunch of vendors, some of whom say, we're never going to do business with you again.
Why?
Because you didn't buy our stuff.
Yeah, well, maybe we don't want to buy your crap.
Because you're too polluted.
And why do we go through all this?
Because we believe in what we're doing.
We believe in clean food.
In fact, I think that healing the world must happen through clean food.
I don't think you can have a world That is sustainable, that has intelligent people, that has healthy babies growing up and learning and functioning in society.
I don't think you can have any of that if you keep poisoning the people with toxic heavy metals and toxic chemicals.
Those two ideas cannot coexist.
You have to have clean food if you want a sustainable future.
And right now the clean food supply keeps shrinking.
It's getting smaller and smaller.
We do more and more testing, but more and more rejecting of these lots.
And what we find that is clean and pristine and it passes all our requirements, that's what we sell.
And it's a very limited supply.
And I'm sorry.
I guess maybe I'm not sorry.
I mean, it's a limited supply.
I wish we had more.
I'm sorry about that.
But I'm not sorry about the fact that we have standards.
You know?
So, if you want clean food, get it at healthrangerstore.com.
If you don't want clean food, go shop on Amazon.
And hope, hope that you don't, you know, get a lot of lead poisoning or something.
Because that's what they're selling.
It's crazy.
In any case, thank you for listening.
Read my website, naturalnews.com.
And, you know, stay healthy.
Be careful what you do.
It's incredible.
No, I can't even trust stuff from Canada.
It's not really from Canada, but you know what I'm saying.
It's like laundering.
Laundering of food products from China now.
It's crazy.
What else are they going to do?
Damn communists, man.
They're just deceivers about everything.
