Lipozene Diet Pills
As a public service message I am providing this article from the Lipozene blog spot:
If you think Lipozene is the elusive magic pill that will allow you to eat whatever you want, never exercise and still shed the pounds, you may as well stop reading now. In fact, you may as well stop browsing the web, because it doesn't exist.
Of course, you'd never think so reading the advertising hype for Lipozene. Anyone gullible enough to swallow their claims would swear they'd uncovered the holy grail of diet aids.
The dubious makers of Lipozene is a company by the name of Obesity Research Institute LLC. They also make Fiberthin and Propolene. All of their products are the same with different names. They have been named in many court actions for making misleading weight-loss claims. And hundreds of consumer complains file with the Nevada Better Business Bureau.

What Is Lipozene?
Lipozene contains Propol, which is simply the company's trademarked name for glucomannan which is Fiber! Adding fiber to your diet is always a good idea. In general, North Americans get about 14 grams of fiber per day from their diets -- about half of what they should get. While it certainly appears glucomannan offers benefits above and beyond those offered by "simple" dietary fiber, there are easier (and cheaper) ways to get fiber into your diet by consuming high fiber fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains & consume a fiber supplement like Metamucil.

Comments
The company Obesity Research Institute, the marketer of FiberThin, Propolene and Lipozene, settled FTC charges that their misleading weight-loss claims violated federal laws by agreeing to pay $1.5 million in consumer redress.[16]
In 2002, a number of products containing kojac-derived glucomannan were recalled as choking hazards.[17]
