Green Coffee Extract for Weight loss and Raspberry Ketones

Recently I have had several people in my classes ask me about green coffee extract and raspberry ketones for weight loss. I really don't have much information right now on these items. Does anyone (especially with a health or nutrition background) have accurate information on these? Thanks!

    This question comes up all of the time on these boards so I just copied and pasted my answer from the other day:

    Other than Dr. Oz pimping them out, as far as I know there is no clinical evidence that either work. The study correlating green bean coffee extract to weight loss was SURPRISE! funded by a manufacturer of green coffee bean extract.

    I'd love some accurate information on these as well :) I hear numerous people at work talking about wanting to take them and other who ARE taking them...

    Anyone out there got the scoop??

    As I stated above, the scoop is there are currently no unbiased studies proving they work.

    I tried Raspberry keytones. They smell good but thats about it. Did not do anything for me.
