Israeli Company Saying "Yes" to Carrots
Ilana Teitelbaum | | 12 Comments | Email this
An Israeli company has discovered that bottling the beta-carotene goodness found in carrots (and other orange vegetables and fruits) is beneficial for skin and hair. “Yes To Carrots” is a two year-old company, based in Israel, that is now hitting the international scene.
Their secret: a combination of beta-carotene, which is said to have anti-aging properties, and minerals from the Dead Sea. And another bit of goodness: the products are free of paraben, a preservative chemical which has been linked to cancer.
The “Carrot Collection” includes products for the face, skin and hair. Recently the company demonstrated its success by entering the US market; products are being sold exclusively at Walgreens.
A reason to like Yes To Carrots: They’ve started the Yes To Carrots Seed Fund, with the goal of assisting developing communities to have their own organic food source. Donations will go towards buying equipment, vegetable seeds, and irrigation support.

I met Uri Ben Hur the creator of yes to carrots, yes to tomatoes, yes to cucumbers, Sea of Life and he is a real green prophet

we were recently in Israel and had the opportunity to visit the Sea of Life factory in the city of Arad in the south of Israel.they are the natural products leader in Israel and they have an amazing variety of products unfound on the yes to line.
the factory and the professional team are devoted . i could not get an answer why the new products on the shelves in the USA are different then the classic yes to products (much , much better, according to my wife). a question to yes to management: have you changed the formula?
this is not the same product and I will not buy it again.

is there any legal fight between yes to and the creator of the brand, Uri Ben Hur?

Ido – I don’t know, is there? And why would it matter in this context?

I heard it is a 30 million dollars complaint against yes to and all the directors in person.
they left the creator of the brand with a huge inventory, huge investment in machinery and unpaid invoices. the complaint is very bad for yes to.

This is a ugly story

I heard that yes to lost. it is against the American spirit to cheat the creator of a brand. Mr Ben Hur , the formulators and the creatives in the beauty industry supports you. I am happy that Yes To will finally pay the damages to the only creator/founder of the yes to brands. The investors should be concerned , because nobody will come to see them with brilliant ideas anymore. We will call soon for a public action against these people in front of Walgreens and Yes To offices . shame on you!!

So what’s the story here: Yes To had an inventor who wasn’t credited?
Pamela Sirion • December 12th, 2011 • 5:26 pm
The story is very problematic to yes to: they left debts of over the ten millions dollars to the inventor, in unused machines,inventory, expenses on warehouses, and if you read the complaint , filed against all the directors as well, you find the ugly face and behavior against the inventor. The complaint is 30 million dollars, but the moral question is , why did’t they cover those losses? why yes to directors are afraid to reach the trial at court? but the simplest question is why dont they pay the damages they created. nobody in America would appreciate such a behavior. I know the inventor, he is the inventor of Sea of Life and the credit is not the concern but the multi million dollars damages. I heard that detailed articles about the case will be published in main business newspapers. that’s a pity that Americans have to behave this way. Inventors are creating the added value of the future and they should be protected worldwide from such greedy investors .so,this is not a credit issue, but a multi million dollars damage to the inventor.
