What about some whatsapp forwards for spreading awareness about his shitty brand?
[–]Oblivion_Wonderlust 46 points47 points48 points  (15 children)
Those fuckers banned Maggi (even though it was later proved that it was a false positive). They should ban cancerjali too
[–]BrownVendetta 28 points29 points30 points  (14 children)
cancerjali
name-calling doesn't prove anything. Patanjali products may or may not be harmful. I'd avoid them because, to me, the sole marketing claim seems to be "swadeshi is good because it is swadeshi".

Do they use heavy metals in their drugs, like all other ayurvedic drug makers? If yes, they are using proven carcinogens and teratogens.
[–]SuggestMeUsername [score hidden]  (1 child)
Can tell you they do, Someone close to me got his kidney or something destroyed.
[–]charavaka [score hidden]  (0 children)
Well, there you go then. You can call them cancerjali.

Patanjali was found guilty of misbranding its products, which were shown as produced at its own units but were in fact manufactured elsewhere.
  • Dehradun:A local court in Haridwar has slapped the five production units of Baba Ramdevs Patanjali Ayurved with a fine of Rs 11 lakh for misbranding and putting up misleading advertisements of their products.
  • ADM Lalit Narayan Mishras court has asked the company to pay the fine within a month.
  • Patanjali Ayurved was found guilty of misbranding as the products being shown by the company as produced at its own units were in fact manufactured somewhere else, the court said.
  • A case had been filed in the court against the company in 2012 by the District Food Safety Department after samples of mustard oil, salt, pineapple jam, besan and honey produced by Patanjali had failed quality tests at Rudrapur laboratory.

Here is this Baba Ramdev who has used hyper-nationalism inculcated by the RSS & BJP to further his business empire. But with government patronage, it is unlikely that any action is taken against him.
[–]DeeDaarDeHar Har Mahadev! -3 points-2 points-1 points  (1 child)
it is unlikely that any action is taken against him.
I don't get it.First everyone was saying how Baba Ramdev controlled Modi,BJP,NDA and every power structure in this country.Now the law catches up with him on time and something like this happens and instead of shutting up for once,you all come up with even more conspiracy theories?
No,what more do people like you want?Should he be sent to the gallows rightaway to placate your bloodthirst?

People keep saying they don't trust "western" medicine and turn to "natural" Ayurveda products and homeopathy. Western medicine goes through a 1000 tests and have to be approved. There is no such governing bodies for Ayurveda. You have no guarantee what goes into these "natural" things
[–]sunil24 [score hidden]  (0 children)
Also homeopathy is pseudoscience.

Patanjali products probably use more chemicals and additives than others. I wonder if an independent lab has conduct tests on their products.
[–]rhymeswithend [score hidden]  (0 children)
Only yesterday did I watch Patanjali ads continuously being bombed on &Tv, claiming FSSAI certification and shitting on Dabur Amla honey by censoring the label and highlighting the cheaper price of Patanjali stuff. And today this. Really?
Fuck off you fucking chor baba.
[–]sentibaba -3 points-2 points-1 points  (1 child)
Citation please.
Newspaper articles are worth shit now.
Need link to FSSAI announcement to confirm these things.
[–]RowdyRambo comment score below threshold-8 points-7 points-6 points  (3 children)
Clever play on words since they did "fail" FSSAI tests. Misbranding/Mislabeling is different from having cancer causing stuff in your products!!
[–]kash_if 7 points8 points9 points  (2 children)
You didn't read the article did you?
The case was filed by administration for failing food safety and quality tests.
 District Food Safety Department after samples of mustard oil, salt, pineapple jam, besan and honey produced by Patanjali had failed quality tests at Rudrapur laboratory.

Looks like they forgot to pay someone off.
