HEHEHE
and Ewwww.


I've heard of diet pills from the 50s that would have a tapeworm in them. True?
Maybe, I don't really know.

Yeah I remember hearing about those, IIRC. chuckle some people will
try anything to avoid changing habits, and try to beat biology.

There are all kinds of whacked out ideas that will help people to get
their number on a scale, but then it ONLY helps people to lose their
weight, not improve overall health.

For one to change their habits it involves a lot of hard work, and
determination, and thinking differently. It's not as magic as taking
some little pill and getting diarrhea, but hey, it works for me.

YMMV

I don't see how they get away with it. You would think someone would
nail them for false advertising. They are the most ridiculous
commercials on the air right now IMO. :-(


It's in the wording...

RELICOR:
"....even if you're low carb dieting, there's only one Relicor"

what the hell is that supposed to mean. Do they honestly think we
didn't hear the entire sentence?
