    I got them and my wallet is slimmer already!

    Seriously though - there are no magic pills, just ways for corporations to take advantage of people to make money.

    Raspberry ketones. So...the people I work with were raving about this. So, I checked it out. This is what I found. The 'scientific' studies were actually only one study conducted by a person with an MBA, not any scientific credentials. It had a sample size of 6 male laboratory mice. Okay..inadequate sample size to produce statistically significant results. And then there was the gender of the mice. How is it that you can extrapolate from a study of 6 male mice to make conclusions on weight loss in human females? You cannot do so using any scientific basis, but if you have a vested financial interest you may be able to fool some people who aren't motivated enough to read the fine print.

    My conclusion: Caveat Emptor (Let the buyer beware) ESPECIALLY in matters of dietary supplements.

    Raspberry Ketones is the reason I've never watched Dr. Oz.

    Save your money. On them 60 days. Don't think they did much.

    Waste of money because it's nothing but well marketed snake oil.
