Raspberry Ketones
Is anybody familiar with this stuff?
I just watched the Dr. Oz promo and I almost actually believed him.
Either this is something like HCG that is controversial but effective, or it's just another scam.
Anyone have any personal experience??

I've been hearing a lot about raspberry ketones lately. I wonder too if it is just hype or is there some truth to it.

From The Great And Mighty Wikipedia:
Quote:
When given to mice in very high doses (up to 2% of body weight), raspberry ketone has been shown to prevent high-fat-diet-induced elevations in body weight.[8] However, no effects on body weight were observed with doses up to 200 times greater than the estimated intake in humans.[9] The high dose effect is reported to stem from the alteration of lipid metabolism, increasing norepinephrine-induced lipolysis. Although products containing this compound are marketed for weight loss, there is no clinical evidence for this effect in humans.
In a June 2012 article, nutritional supplement manufacturer Andrew Lessman criticized and countered sensationalized media and marketing claims about raspberry ketone’s purported weight-loss benefits and strongly cautioned against its use.[10]

I had never heard of raspberry ketones before, until today, when I happened to get an email about it from one of my health blogs I belong to. And then I see this post on lds.net. Wouldn't it be nice if there really was a "magic" formula/pill that would melt away all those excess pounds?

Balanced holistic food intake and exercise. It's a lifestyle. Live it, love it, own your body. Everything else is just a fad.
Okay, that's not from me. That's my husband's philosophy.
