I get alot junk email and every now and then one skips through my filters and catches my eye before I can delete it. This one had to do with Raspberry Ketones. Apparently this is another "hot" weight loss supplement. In the email ad I saw that it was featured on the Dr. Oz show so I clicked the link and watched the video. I then did some googling and found that two days after the show, Charlotte, NC health food stores were selling out of the stuff. Apparently when TV doctors speak people listen. The problem is that people are taking what is said on TV at face value and not doing their homework. One thing to point out is that Dr. Oz's assistant who is touting the benefits of Raspberry Ketones stands to make lots of money selling this to her clients after the show. She shows pictures of two of her clients who take the stuff but did they lose weight from the supplement or by diet and exercise? Where are the long term human studies? Side-effects? I hear crickets!
To save you some time...here is a link to the Dr. Oz segment and the Charlotte News segment and finally an article that I wholeheartedly agree with 100%. Don't run out and buy this stuff until you have read the article. I personally think you can save your money.
