  • Thanks everyone!!!! I appreciate all the feedback!!!!
  • I saw Raspberry Ketones featured on Dr. Oz and I thought, if he is recommending them, they might actually work. I have purchased from Uplifting therapies before and I am comfortable with the company, so it was an easy decision for me. Got mine here: http://amzn.to/1gXMhVd

    Raspberry ketones are hyped by Dr. Oz. Dr. Oz is a quack. You asked for opinions, that is mine.

    Googled:
    "Raspberry ketone is a natural phenolic compound that is responsible for the heavenly aroma of red raspberries. And according to this Planta Medica study, it’s also a potent fat burner. Tested on a group of portly lab mice, it was discovered that raspberry ketone increased both the expression and secretion of adiponectin. This is important because adiponectinis a protein hormone which modulates a number of metabolic processes, including glucose regulation and fatty acid catabolism. Past research into adiponectin has shown that your levels of adiponectin are inversely correlated with your body fat percentage
    - Higher adiponectin = lower levels of body fat."
