    Whatever, raspberry ketones are amazing. I just sit on the couch all day....

    you do realize that raspberry keytones have NEVER been proven to do anything?


    I don't need science for proof. I eat and eat and eat, take raspberry ketones, watch soaps day and lose weight and build muscle. That's all the proof I need. Lol at those who exercise and eat healthy.

    and they are in better shape than you...lol. Go ahead and keep fooling yourself.

    This may be true, but they don't look better than me naked. And that's all that matters.

    um...I'm sure they do.


    You've seen me naked? Was that you rustling my bushes last night? Mirin my delts??

    giggity! o:)

    I always eat before bed, a reasonable snack, and I've lost 5 lbs over the last 8 weeks. Most people will believe anything an "expert" says, esp one on TV. Youngsters should google Johnny Carson and Toilet paper.

    While I agree he is not correct on a number of things, many posters are complaining that he promotes nutritional supplements that he actually doesn't. He did an entire episode {one of the few I've actually seen} talking about how companies are using his picture and name illegally to promote their products. Green coffee bean extract being one of the many. He actually asked viewers to send photos and details to the show when they come across these promotions in the stores so he can contact the store/company and take legal action. Just wanted to help set the record straight on one aspect of this thread.

    This is true. He does "blur the lines" a bit and can easily confuse people however, due to his constant topic of weight loss, so that adds to it, but this post from the above poster is correct.

    The sad part of all of this is that when he brings up something true or useful it's not going to get the ratings. His audience wants a magic pill, not useful info. So when he shows organ tissue or runs health screenings, his ratings go down. When he raves about an expensive product as if he were the home shopping network on steroids, his audience cheers and call their friends to tune in too.
    But hey! We all lose weight with science, yo.

    I liked when he got yelled at by Congress.

    THIS. YES!! What a sell-out and snake oil salesman (I sound like my grandmother there!). Wonder what the (former) queen of daytime TV (Oprah) thinks of him now?!?

    Um... she's the one who endorses him. On her network. So she's surely aware and most probably banking on it too.

    He's splitting hairs.

    If he goes on his show and says some nutritional supplement is the greatest thing since sliced bread and you'll lose weight if you take it, then he's promoting it. He may not be saying "Buy Dr. John's Raspberry Ketones" but he does promote taking raspberry ketones to lose weight. Even though there is not one shred of scientific evidence to support that.
