Brazilian Diet Pills – The Controversy

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 Diet products. We are
just now beginning to see the harmful and even life threatening
effects, and I believe we may even see government agency
intervention soon if the reports of extreme side effects keep
coming in.

If you have taken this product and have experienced negative
effects, you may want to contact the FDA or even the Better
Business Bureau. On the contrary, if you have taken one of these
products and had exceptional results without a wink of side
effects, by all means get that information out to the right
people as well.

A good alternative to this type of fad product is to just go
for what you know is safe. There are some EXCELLENT and very
safe, non-addictive diet aids (for example safe herbal
alternatives to Fen Phen) on the market today that really are
100% natural and really do reduce your appetite and help you
lose the weight you need to quickly and effectively. And, you
don’t put it right back on when you stop the product.

That’s my opinion, and I’m sticking to it!
