That sounds like the consumers need to be educated. You can have a drink where the only ingredients are water and organic sugar, but of course it wont be healthy.
It's actually more than just that
There's 2 sides to the scam of the organic scam.
The first one being not all "organic" food is actually organic. It's marketed as organic, but actually isnt. Some being not to what the consumer imagined organic to mean, and some not really organic at all, but it's marketed that way on loose policy.

What people imagine what "organic" means, doesn't actually live up to what they imagined it to be. Which brings us to the other side of the scam.
The second being, organic means healthy. On top of the first misconception of "organic" there's also that it also means the food is healthy.
Now one may argue educating the consumer, but it doesn't change "organic" has heavy marketing that it's the healthy option to go to, hence the misconceptions around "organic" and paying for overpriced items that are likely not what you thought you were buying.
This isn't to say all organic is bad, or a post arguing organic is bad. It's just to raise awareness that likely most of the so called "organic" things consumers are buying isn't what they think it is. And this topic was talking about scams, which many "organic" sellers definitely lie and prey on, which I'd call a scam.
