Take superlative claims off Amazon book description?

During the Summit, I believe Julie mentioned that you can get your Amazon page banned if you say your book is "the best" or a "bestseller." I realize that I put in my book description that my book has become the "gold standard" in the industry (frankly, the first edition was the first book on my subject, and my recent third edition is the only complete book on the subject), and also mentioned that I've sold 100k copies worldwide (this is an estimate but it's around that number) and the book has been required or recommended reading at hundreds of schools worldwide (again, true).

Do I need to remove these claims? Hoping one of the Booklaunchers people will weigh in. Thanks!
