'Natural' Diet Pills may contain Illegal Drugs

Well, see, there was this problem.

There was, for example, the case of Dr. Don Donsbach, a slightly pudgy and one-time very successful vitamin seller.

The FDA, in those days, could just come in and lock all your stuff up and put you out of business like a bunch of Nazis/Bolsheviks. You couldn't really defend yourself because you had no money because your business was instantly killed the moment that the FDA targeted you. You had no chance to defend yourself.

Now, you may not know this but a decade ago or two there was a commercial for a "light" mayonnaise that had less fat.

The problem is that if you have less fat than what the FDA prescribes, it is actually illegal to call the spread "mayonnaise", even if it is indistinguishable except for the fat content. So, Kraft made  commercial and said in the commercial that "We aren't allowed to call this light spread 'mayonnaise', but you can..." and the FDA went ballistic. Kraft had to drop the commercial.

Violation of Free Speech.

Now, I am going to be publishing some articles about how the FDA tried to suppress vitamins companies from making perfectly legitimate claims such as "Folic acid supplements help prevent spinal bifidy in infants" even though all the research that was done was done with pills of folic acid and the results were beyond conclusive.

So, that is why the FDA finds itself a bit hamstrung today. They had been out of line and they had some of their powers taken away.

I say good.

Now, let's find out if those chemicals are present in microscopic quantites because the machine that mixed the pills hadn't been cleaned properly and trace amounts of chemical got included in the next batch, which is what I think actually happened.

Nice story and I feel honored for the photo.

To tell you the truth weight management pills are not bad IMO

The problem with fat people is that well, they don't do anything to help themselves and if the do they will BLINDLY buy some weight management pills, go on a diet and exercise for a week hoping SUPER GREAT results and when that's not achieved well, they get mad and blame everything and everyone but themselves.

Weight Management pills such as Lipo 6 ARE NOT MAGIC PILLS, they help you burn the fat off of you by accelerating your metabolism and pumping you up with energy so you can do extra exercise for the same purpose, but obviously you need 2 exercise and diet properly for months to get results, it's not something that's due overnight and that's another of the main problems, people think that well it's magical and IT'S NOT.

I've been taking them for about a month now and they've helped me a lot, clothes are fitting in more propperly and my back, shoulder and arm muscles are starting to gain shape.

Another issue is "the rebound" when you loose weight but then gain it, well OF COURSE you're gonna do that if you stop dieting and exercising and start eating junk food again and stay all day in front of the tv or the computer.

The truth is that most people won't be honest and they will say things like "they didn't work, those pills are bullshit and a waste of money" or something like that when the truth is they didn't use them propperly or thought they were magic pills or something like that.

On the other hand everyone's body's diffent so the truth is that if someone's planning on buying weight management pills well the first thing they need 2 do is GET INFORMED AND DON'T SHOP BLINDLY.

Find the best pills for you, diet and exercise propperly and you will loose weight.

This very interesting post begs the question of "Natural" and "Bio" products in general.

France has very stringent controls and content labelling laws. This means that their strict application has uncovered more and more instances of so-called natural and bio products using illegal substances or non-natural substances or practices that mean that they are neither bio or natural. A couple of examples, "Farm-raised fresh-air chickens". They were outside on a farm, sure, but five per square metre. Another tactic is artificial food preservatives or colouring agents, in factory-production scale yogurts.

This can partially be explained in my view by the increasing amounts of money to be made in what started out being an ethical market which wanted to propose genuinely healthy products but has finished up being polluted by those who ditched its standards for easy money by mass-producing product to an extent which precludes the possibility of its being natural at all.

Apart from that, I agree with Amyjudd. Wanna lose weight? Well get out there and use your body and control your eating habits, duh!! :). (This is not, of course, aimed at those who sometimes have other reasons for being overweight..)

Chances are that if they DIDN'T contain illegal drugs they wouldn't work.

We should never forget that wonderful combination - fen fen.  Don't buy your special wonder drugs over the net.  You have no idea where they were made.

 I feel that diet pills wil eventualy turn its user into a anxious and unrealistic human being. I am a media student currently studying the dangers of diet pills

I grew up with an overweight mother. After I has become an adult and so had my brother and sister she developed a few of health problems because of her weight.  She did start exercising more and eating healthier but eventually she wanted faster results and went through a ton of different diet pills. None of them ever produced the result they promised but she kept spending a ton of money trying. Any weight she lost was simply because of diet and exercise- she never had any dramatic results with any diet pill. After about 2 years of the diet pill roller coaster she had a heart attack and passed away. Her doctor believes all the different diet pills- that her told not to take, but she didn't listen- contributed to the heart attack. I dont know if it was because of illegal drugs but I do think there all several things in those pills that are not intended for people to take for any length of time and since most of them contain similar ingredients, switching from one brand to the next is not much different than taking them for long periods of time. They are definetly bad news for any human body.
