You do realize that proper use (according to thier directions) adds up to between $80 and $100 per month?
Here's some facts on your Hydroxycut. Every statement is backed by official documents or statements from company or government officials.
It pretty much applies to all weight related supplements. Almost all manufacturers have been cited and fined.
Okay so I'm going to manufacture a product called Hydroxycut and say that it causes weight loss.
In 2003 I am going to get sued and lose for making the false claims that my product is a 'clinically proven fat burner"
Then in May of 2009 the FDA is going to come in and allow me to shut down for making unsubstantiated claims again and to repay $30 million to customers I sold the unproven product, including the ones with liver damage and the family of the one person that DIED from using the product.
I"m going to lay low for a bit and "reformulate" a product that now contains nothing more than herbs, spices, and mostly caffeine.
Now in July of 2010 the FTC is going to fine me $5.5 million for claiming my other products not only cause weight loss but also treat or prevent colds, flu, allergies, and hay fever.
And yet current law still allows me to operate.
Now after 6 months I'm going to launch a huge ad blitz with a lot of "trick" language that lets me continue to sell a product with absolutely no clinical evidence or documentation.
What could go wrong with this product?
Why, because people are desperate to lose weight and there will always be someone there to sell them a "quick fix remedy" that doesn't work. The $60 billion weight loss industry is just too lucrative and profitable for these guys to stay away.
If any of this stuff worked, why would 2/3 of US adults be overweight or obese?
We would be lined up without having to spend a dime on advertising.
These supplement manufacturers are using humans (you) as guinea pigs with these unapproved products.
Under current law, as long as no one gets sick or dies, or they don't get fined or shut down, they will continue to make and peddle this crap. They don't care whether it works or not as long as they get your money.
