SodaSlim Baking Soda Scam Shows Oprah, Dr. Jastreboff AI Video

This video reports on SodaSlim. You may have seen this product going around online with miracle claims about weight loss and a Yale doctor, Dr. Ania Jastreboff, maybe Oprah Winfrey. This is a scam. This is an outright scam, and I want to save you from this. I’m not going to try to sell you anything. My name is Jordan Liles. I am a senior reporter for the fact-checking and news website, Snopes.com. This is my personal YouTube channel where I come to on nights and weekends to save people from scams.

So, what’s going on here? There’s a bottle product called SodaSlim and it says on the bottle “metabolic and appetite support.” It’s a scam. It’s not going to do anything. It’s coming from Brazil. There are people working phones in the U.S. for this sort of a thing and other websites and whatever. What’s happening here? You see an ad online, maybe on a website or on social media. That’s step one. Step two after that ad, that ad will take you to a website that looks something like this where it claims it’s “Health” or something. “Yale Doctor Reveals: Never Mix Baking Soda With These 3 Ingredients — Unless You Want To Lose 24 Pounds in 15 Days,” is what it says. And it has here like a woman, supposedly a weight loss transformation with baking soda and lemon and maybe some spices.

And what’s going on with that is that there at least for several months has been a lie going around started by scammers that there’s a baking soda recipe, a “baking soda shot,” a “baking soda water shot,” or whatever you saw it presented as, that can help you lose weight. That is a lie. The scammers know it’s a lie. It is a strategic device scammers came up with to make you think this is interesting because you have baking soda in your pantry or your fridge or freezer, something like that. Probably it’s a familiar product. That’s why they do this. They do it with all sorts of different spices and pantry items and whatever kitchen products, and they do that, and in a long video, they’ll claim to you they’re going to reveal to you the recipe. And by the end of the very, very long video on a website, it ends up being a bottle of pills or dropper bottle or something like that. In this case, SodaSlim. If you’re looking for SodaSlim reviews, the review is it is a scam.

Here’s how the scam works. So, first off, I just want to do a little experiment here. If you right-click on Google Chrome, search this image with Google Lens. This woman here, you can kind of tell that they replaced her face. And let’s see if we can figure that out by doing a reverse image search and scrolling down here. Yeah, you see this woman right here? See that face? Is that the same face as you can see right here? No, it’s not. So, they replaced the face. I don’t know if the other face was legitimate, but people are using that photo to replace faces, which is not great. What about this one? Let’s see what we come up with for this. Are we going to find one of the originals or an alternate? Yeah, look, that maybe is the original face. She looks more realistic. And so someone has taken her photo, or a photo of whatever whoever’s body that is, and manipulated it to make it look like this woman’s face is on it. Doesn’t look real, right? That looks a little bit strange, and that’s because it’s AI at work. That’s what’s going on with that.

So it says here Hollywood celebrities are using it and that Dr. Ania Jastreboff has something to do with this, and she doesn’t. And this looks like an AI-generated photo of the “Today” show set or something because these people don’t look legitimate or real in my opinion. I don’t know who that is. And that’s not Dr. Ania Jastreboff. That is an AI face replacement or something. That’s really freaky because once you see what Dr. Ania Jastreboff looks like, you’re going to… Yeah. This, that’s more what she looks like. But this is an AI-generated image, too.

So, you go to the very end here of this page. It’s going to then take you to the very long video, which you may have seen on a website. And here’s what that looks like. You load it up and it says, “Yale Doctor Reveals $1 Baking Soda Recipe That Helped Woman Drop 43 lbs — Without Injection.” Let’s hit play. “This is the baking soda trick that made me lose more than 25 lbs in less than 2 weeks. I made this recipe every single morning and lost belly fat, arm fat and even that double chin I used to have. My sister couldn’t believe it when she saw me wearing a size small.” And, I’m going to have to pause a few times, so just forgive me. Any video you see in a kitchen like that of someone talking is also AI. That’s not a real person speaking. So, a lot of AI at work here.

These scams come from Brazil. I think I maybe mentioned that. And they, they have phone lines here in the U.S. They try to upsell old people, elderly people, and all sorts of people on these sorts of products in order to get them to buy more. Maybe they sometimes mix up different supplements they shouldn’t take together. The supplements don’t have miracle properties anyway. Sometimes people might get sick from taking too many supplements, but they, the phone, you know, people keep upselling, probably trying to like get them to buy more products. I see this in reviews and comments all the time. It’s not funny. I’m just like it’s ridiculous is the reason why I smiled. SodaSlim is what this is about. SodaSlim reviews. I’m going to show you one of the worst aspects of this scam coming up here in just a few minutes.

” … again. And the best part, it is completely natural with zero side effects, and it takes less than 30 seconds every morning to prepare. So please do not close this page because I am going to show you the video where I first learned this recipe. It is a short 2-minute video. Grab a pen and write this down because within just …” It’s an hour-plus-long video, so that’s a lie. “… disappear from the scale. My friend Jennifer lost more than 50 lbs after menopause with this recipe. No one in the family could believe it.” That didn’t look real. “I started using it after seeing her results, and I was shocked when my jeans started falling off on the second day. It is literally like taking a daily dose of Mounjaro but spending less than $1. In fact, it was this exact same recipe that made Oprah drop over 50 lbs recently. I actually discovered this recipe on a special episode with Jenna & Sheinelle on the ‘Today’ show where Oprah herself was on and spilled everything that the baking soda trick works to reactivate those fat-burning hormones that naturally slow down in U.S. women after age 40.”

She said “us women,” but what the scammers wanted her to say were U.S. women because they want to appeal to United States. I see sort of AI mistakes like that all the time. Pretty sure they meant to say U.S. as in United States. “And the moment that episode …” It’s an AI voice trying to say all this stuff. So, they make mistakes. It makes mistakes is a better way of saying it.

“The video of that interview is loading right now on this page. So, do not skip a single second. The order of the ingredients is what makes all the difference, and be quick because the big pharmaceutical companies started pressuring …” Yeah. The “Big Pharma doesn’t want you to know about this” thing is, is big with scams. Not saying anything good about Big Pharma. I’m saying that the scammers are using that as an emotionally manipulative tactic to get you to pay them.

“… recipe was tested by Yale and Harvard on thousands of women across the country. Stay with me. The video is starting right now. Watch the exact measurements, the exact order. This is how you take your …” There is no recipe. That’s a lie. It ends up being the bottle of pills. You may already know that called SodaSlim. And SodaSlim is not legitimate at all. It is a scam coming from Brazil in an attempt to get people in the U.S. and maybe other countries to give up hundreds or thousands of dollars. That’s all this is. It’s not a legitimate attempt to try to help people with their health at all.

“We are back with Oprah who …” Yeah, I’ve seen this video before. So that was like a new 5-minute intro to an older scam video that’s been going around for a few months. So this will end up trying to pitch you like I said on SodaSlim and it’ll last like an hour. It’ll have Dr. Ania Jastreboff come in and she’ll talk about different things. And again, she didn’t actually talk about this. It’s an AI-manipulated version of her. No doctors, hospitals, universities, or celebrities ever talked about this.

The bottled product says it’s made in the USA. I don’t believe that. I don’t believe a lot of things about this. And I know this for sure, though. Belief is different than knowing. Knowing that this is a scam is something that I absolutely know because I’ve seen this product packaged with other names. Scammers change the name of the same bottled product all the time so that they can maybe try to optimize to the best-selling product, best-selling name rather, and also to dominate search engines. You know, they come up with a brand new name. There’s no content out there like my scam-busting videos yet for it. So, the scammers dominate any search results for whatever the new product name is, like maybe for SodaSlim.

Hopefully, my video will be able to make a dent in that. And hitting like and commenting. Please hit like. That means so much to me. Hitting like, the thumbs up button will tell Google and YouTube my video has value and credibility and will help my video get to the top or near the top hopefully of Google and YouTube search results, which would mean a lot to me. And to a lot of the people out there who maybe are about to order and have not yet ordered, I hope that I was able to help you. If you want to lose weight, go see your primary care physician that you trust and you have on like your, your insurance card or whatever, right? So, yeah, I hope I’ve helped.

Anything else? Uh, let’s see. Money-back guarantees maybe won’t be honored or they’ll, they’ll tell you they will give you 50% of your money back. They don’t want to give you your money back. Big surprise. We’re talking about a scam here. And, uh, there’s also the, the aspect, the scary thing I mentioned. This will potentially likely charge you hundreds of dollars a month, if not more, in subscription charges that you did not know about or did not want to be charged for. And again, that’s what this is all about. This is about trying to get money out of people who maybe don’t know better while they’re ordering something and maybe being upsold or, you know, it’s, it’s terrible.
