...official, Harry Mitchell, whose first TV ad last week led with charges that Hayworth took $100,000 from Abramoff and his clients. "This guy's going to be all Abramoff all the time," says Hayworth.

Yet independent-distributor sites claim the juice helps everything from Alzheimer's disease to kidney stones. XanGo's Morton concedes that wild claims are being made. "With 600,000 distributors, some stuff gets past our compliance [measures]," he says. "Overpromising and underdelivering is a problem in any company, from painting houses to selling cars...
