“You called Vemma a scam but you don’t know what you’re talking about. Vemma wouldn’t be in the PDR if it was a scam.”
This was the closing line of a very irate-sounding email I got recently from a Vemma salesperson claiming to be a doctor. Here is my response:
First, let’s clarify something. In not a single article have I ever stated that Vemma or any other fruit juice-based supplement was a scam. I’ve consistently called products like Vemma “overpriced” and “unnecessary”. I’ve also questioned the MLM (multi-level marketing) aspect of the company and have challenged my readers to investigate Vemma’s claims for themselves but I’ve never, ever called Vemma a scam.
“Look at the evidence for yourself. Is Vemma worth the money?”
There Is No “THE PDR”.
Second, there is no “the” PDR. Any real doctor should have known that.
PDR, or Physician’s Desk Reference refers to a number of reference books—not just one—published by Thomson Healthcare. And the reason that Vemma is in the PDR for supplements is because that’s what Vemma is—a nutritional supplement that people will ask their doctors about.

Ultimately, my opinion of Vemma hasn’t changed. At more than $30 a month, Vemma is an expensive supplement that I remain convinced has nothing that a diet high in fresh fruit and vegetables couldn’t give you. Does that make it a scam? I’ll leave that up to you.
