Cons: Stories presented as factual have not been sourced or reviewed for truth. NO trust!
The Bottom Line: Do not purchase this magazine! Their refusal to retract a proven lie about a featured diet story endangers their readers and is absolutely shameless. Greed is very ugly!
The June 2007 issue of Woman's World magazine featured a diet created by a woman known as Kimmer or Heidi Kimberly Diaz. Since that time, the woman has been conclusively proven to be a fraud, the diet nutritionally bankrupt and the so-called success stories posted on her website featured pictures of men and women found mostly on Russian mail-order mate sites.
Still, no retraction from Woman's World. Why is that? Why would they not want to set the record straight? Everyone makes mistakes. In my opinion, they need to do some serious house-cleaning if their editors can't be bothered to source a story correctly and get an "outside" expert to review the claims made within the story.
As a journalist with 15-years of professional experience, some glaring errors were made in the reporting of the Kimkins story. News outlets such as KTLA have done stories revealing the fraud that is Kimkins so-called diet plan, yet despite the evidence and being made aware of it by several victims, Woman's World will not do a retraction. This silence by the Woman's World editors is proof that they have no ethics and do not feel bound by even the most lax journalistic standards. They are trading making a quick buck off their weekly "miracle" diet for influencing people to try the dangerous Kimkins diet program. Their promotion of such is tantamount to approval of the plan, even though it is crystal clear that they never checked into it in any manner.
I, for one, will NEVER purchase another Woman's World magazine. It is presented as though it contains factual information intended to improve the lives of its readers. In reality, it is no better than the National Enquirer or other such tabloids. I do not trust them and I hope their advertisers will hold them to a higher standard or pull their financial support.
Why would anyone pay for a magazine filled with half-truths and lies? It is one thing for a magazine to print half-truths and lies about a celebrity's life. It is quite another to print false and partially true weight loss information that could endanger or seriously damage someone's health. It is morally wrong.
