DIET SUPPLEMENTS - PILLS - PREPARED MEALS

INTRODUCTION

Health products are a huge industry in North America, and the world. The concept of being able to purchase health, is a very luring idea. However, except for prepared meals, diet pills and supplements are not what they appear to be. Claims of rapid weightloss, increased metabolism, calories burned with no effort, all untrue.

Diet supplements began a few decades ago, however the pills prescribed back then by doctors were actually amphetamines (speed) which indeed increased metabolism and reduced hunger. Unfortunately, speed is addictive, and eventually they had an epidemic of speed addicts. So now, the FDA and other organizations spend much time and resources to monitor diet pills and approve them for sale, even regulating what the pills can claim on their packaging, as many will claim properties that they are not capable of.
