While still at Exeter, we had a whole program examining so-called alternative medicines (SCAMs) for weight reduction. I thus can assure you of one thing: there are plenty out there! We also published many papers on the subject. The results can be summarized quite easily:

I find it hard to believe that there are people who actually fall for such an advertisement. And the more I think about it, the sadder I feel. There are quite obviously some who believe such nonsense and get ripped off by irresponsible snake-oil salesmen. Not only does the product not work, but some of the ingredients are also potentially toxic.

I hope that my posing this will prevent a few people from wasting their hard-earned money on outright quackery:

None of the claims made in this advertisement is backed by evidence!

2 Responses to This product “stimulates your body, kickstarts your metabolism and increases calorific burn” … No, it doesn’t!

  • I spent a sizeable part of my professional carreer on helping people with obesity, and another part on treating cancer. I therefore know first hand the desperation and predicament of such patients. They will do almost anything for loosing a few pounds so they are easy pray for the vultures who sell fake hope.
    There are a few social groups that are easily misled by health and wellness grifters. It is not the new-age crystal touting Tarot-laying esoteric-loving types.
    It is the ordinary people of a few distinct subgroups:

    Toddler parents
    The elderly
    Victims of cancer
    The obese

    These are usually also the ones who least deserve and afford being deceived end defrauded.
    This realisation is what drives my efforts to counteract SCAM and health related swindle.
