If it sounds too good to be true, it must be bad *MUST READ*

I recently stumbled upon a new diet supplement that, according to some testimonies, can help you lose 40Lbs. in a month! Me, being a skeptical as usual, did research and what I found out was scary. Raspberry ketone. It is a natural phenolic compound that is the primary aroma compound of red raspberries. Extraction of pure raspberry ketone is usually 1–4 mg per kg of raspberries. Since the natural abundance of raspberry ketone is very low, it is prepared industrially by a variety of methods from chemical intermediates. They use chemicals such as acetone and sodium hydroxide....ewww!!! Raspberry ketone is used in perfumery, in cosmetics, and as a food additive to impart a fruity odor. Although products containing this compound are marketed for weight loss, there is no clinical evidence for this effect in humans. Little is known about the long term safety of raspberry ketone supplements. the Food and Drug Administration placed raspberry ketone on generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status for the small quantities used as a food additive. So lets be smart about our weight loss choices. Good things are harder to achieve but in the long run we will benefit from our struggles.
