Brazilian Diet Pills Fad - Buyer Beware
Anyone familiar with the latest diet pills and methods has
probably heard of the latest concern (or frenzy) on the
weightloss market: Brazilian Diet Pills.
Brazilian Diet Pills, specifically certain brands, seem to have
been wreaking havoc on people's health around the world. And yet
people are still searching for them on the internet in hopes of
shedding weight unusually fast.
Let's start from the beginning. A Brazilian company began
marketing a particular "all natural" diet pill which had
recommended dosages of a specific color coded pill to be taken
in the morning, and a specific color coded pill to be taken at
night. The dosages are varied according to where you are in your
weight loss goals, as well as what your individual preferences
or health issue are.
These diet pills are still marketed as a "Magic Pill". We all
know there is no such thing. We want to believe that, which is
why this product has seen some interest, but it quite simply is
not true - and not without its price.
My prediction is, the FDA will get wind of this fairly soon, and
put a ban or strict limitations on this product, just as they
did with Ephedra. The signs are all around. Women are reporting
on forums that people they know have taken the Brazilian Diet
Pill and while they have |

dropped significant amounts of weight
in a short period, many people have suffered fainting spells,
heart palpitations and even cardiac arrests, presumably linked
to the ingestion of this weightloss product.
An analysis on the pills has shown trace amounts of illegal
amphetamines, as well as prescription antidepressants and even a
tranquilizer in the night time pills, to counteract the effects
of the speed you've taken during the day in the daytime formula,
so that you can actually sleep.
The really sad part of this is, the product is marketed as
"Blended with Natural Herbs from the Rainforest", when in fact
chemical analysis has shown man made and extremely dangerous and
volatile substances. Some people do know about the substances in
this product, and due to the societal pressure to be thin, have
still chosen to purchase and use it, in hopes of quickly
slimming down. A word of caution: While this product may in fact
help you to quickly shed unwanted excess pounds, it also has a
real potential to become addictive, since it contains addictive
controlled substances (amphetamines - or speed) which the human
body becomes accustomed to, and starts to need more and more of
just to sustain the weight loss and appetite loss.
My advice is, if you really want to lose weight, and you want to
be safe - stay away from these Brazilian |

BALTIMORE, Aug. 27 (UPI) -- Forty-percent of children with uncontrollable epilepsy who stay on a high-fat ketogenic diet return to normal levels of cholesterol, U.S. researchers say.
Elevated cholesterol levels return to normal or near normal levels over time in four out of 10 children with uncontrollable epilepsy treated with the high-fat ketogenic diet, according to results of a Johns Hopkins Children's Center study reported in the Journal of Child Neurology. The study appears online ahead of print here.
