Short answer: No. We found no link between Dr. William Li and Sugar Reset. The official Sugar Reset page and checkout never mention him, and his own website lists only his books. Videos showing him selling blood sugar drops match a wave of AI deepfakes of real doctors documented by fact-checkers.

The bottle has a printed label and a named distributor. It does not have a celebrity doctor.

Search for Sugar Reset and sooner or later you see the same question: is Dr. William Li behind it? Some videos online show a doctor who looks and sounds like him talking about “blood sugar drops”. So we checked the three places that can actually answer it.

Not that we could find. On October 14, 2026 we checked:

  • The official Sugar Reset website (forsugarreset.com). His name appears zero times. The only doctors mentioned are your doctor, in the safety notes: show the label to your doctor if you take medication.
  • The official buy page. No doctor, no video, no Dr. Li. Just the packages and the checkout.
  • The bottle. The company printed on the label is Instituto Experience, Lakeland, Florida. Not a doctor’s brand (full label here).

So the people who make and sell Sugar Reset do not use his name. Whoever puts his face next to the product is somebody else.

Who Is Dr. William Li, Really?

He is a real physician and researcher who writes about food and health. His own website, drwilliamli.com, presents his books, Eat to Beat Disease and Eat to Beat Your Diet.

What his site does not show is just as useful: no supplement, no drops, no Sugar Reset. When a doctor really partners with a product, his own channels are the first place it appears.

Where Do The Dr. Li Videos Come From?

From a wider problem that has nothing to do with one product: AI videos that copy a real doctor’s face and voice.

In December 2025 the UK fact-checker Full Fact documented social media accounts using AI-generated deepfakes of real doctors and academics to promote health supplements. It called this “a growing wave of AI-driven misinformation that risks damaging the reputations of those it impersonates”, and listed a video that appeared to show nutrition author Dr William Li. Source: Full Fact, December 5, 2025.

The pattern is always the same: a trusted face, a “secret” recipe or drop, a countdown, and a buy button that goes to whoever made the video. The product name changes. The famous face stays.

Does That Make Sugar Reset A Scam?

No, and this is the part worth separating clearly. A fake ad is a problem with the ad. What you receive from the official checkout is a real product you can check:

  • A printed Supplement Facts label: chromium plus a 200 mg herbal blend (all 23 ingredients).
  • A named distributor on the bottle and on the website’s policies.
  • A one-time purchase, with no subscription hidden in the checkout.
  • A written 60-day refund policy, any reason, no restocking fee (what the policy really says).

Where you buy matters more than the video you saw. Some look-alike sites use the name too, so check the address before you pay (which Sugar Reset website is real).

Where to buy

Skip the videos and go straight to the official page

Our link is an affiliate link, and we say so: it opens the official Sugar Reset buy page, where you choose 2, 3 or 6 bottles. No subscription, and a written 60-day money-back guarantee. No doctor endorsement is involved, and none is needed to judge the label.

What Does The Law Say About Fake Doctor Endorsements?

In the US, the FTC’s endorsement rules are short and clear.

“Endorsements must reflect the honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experience of the endorser.” And when an ad says the endorser uses the product, “the endorser must have been a bona fide user of it at the time the endorsement was given.” Source: 16 CFR 255.1(a) and (c).

A doctor who never agreed to appear cannot be giving an honest opinion. That is why a fake endorsement tells you nothing about the product, good or bad.

How Can You Spot A Fake Doctor Video?

  1. Check the doctor’s own website and social pages. A real partnership shows up there first.
  2. Watch the mouth and the voice. Lips slightly out of sync, a flat or oddly paced voice and stiff hands are common signs of AI video.
  3. Be wary of “miracle” language. Promises to reverse diabetes or replace medication are red flags. No supplement can honestly promise that.
  4. Distrust countdowns and “FDA approved” badges. The FDA does not approve dietary supplements before they are sold (FDA).
  5. Read the address bar before you pay. The official Sugar Reset site is forsugarreset.com.

So, How Should You Judge Sugar Reset?

By the same things you would check on any supplement: the label, the real price and the refund terms. Those are on the bottle and in writing, and they do not depend on who appears in a video. If you take medication for blood sugar or blood pressure, show the label to your own doctor first (medication interactions).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Dr. William Li behind Sugar Reset?

We found no link. The official Sugar Reset website and its checkout do not mention Dr. William Li at all, and his own website presents his books, not any supplement. The company named on the Sugar Reset label is Instituto Experience of Lakeland, Florida.

Are the Dr. William Li Sugar Reset videos real?

We could not find any genuine endorsement. In December 2025 the fact-checker Full Fact documented AI deepfakes of real doctors promoting supplements, including what appeared to be a deepfake of Dr. William Li. Treat any video of him selling blood sugar drops as unverified.

Is Sugar Reset a scam because of the fake videos?

The videos are a problem with some ads, not with the bottle. Sugar Reset is a real liquid supplement with a printed Supplement Facts label, a named distributor, a one-time checkout with no subscription and a written 60-day refund policy. Buy only through the official checkout.

Is it legal to use a doctor in an ad without permission?

The FTC endorsement rules say endorsements must reflect the honest opinions of the endorser, and that someone presented as using a product must actually be a user of it. A doctor who never agreed to an ad cannot be giving an honest endorsement.

Where can I buy the real Sugar Reset?

On the official website, forsugarreset.com, which sends you to a secure BuyGoods checkout for the 2, 3 and 6-bottle packages. Check the address bar before you type your card details.
