    That ingredient list is...amazing. I would never think that something with corn syrup as the first ingredient, or as an ingredient at all, would be a diet supplement or aid or whatever this kind of thing claims.

    It lists like candy would.

    The first three ingredients are all forms of sugars/sweeteners. It would be hilarious to do a study measuring the correlation between people who fall for taking these (not directed at OP specifically - in general terms) with people who forward on "Sugar is the Devil" chain Facebook posts.

    I would help fund this study. Lol

    Ingredients
    Corn Syrup, Sugar, Maltodextrin, Gelatin, Tricalcium Phosphate, Water, Citric Acid, Lactic Acid, Natural Flavors, Colors (Black Carrot Juice Concentrate, Purple Berry Concentrate), Fractionated Coconut Oil (Contains Carnauba Wax and/or Beeswax), Lo Han Fruit Concentrate, Ascorbic Acid.


    Which of those ingredients is actually supposed to assist in weight loss?

    Well obviously they're not gonna put "eye of newt" right there on the package. Surely, that's proprietary and protected under patent laws for magical potions...

    A really weird candy...

    Yep lol.

    But as one that reads labels, I never would have gotten past the first few ingredients of this before putting it back on the shelf. I have never looked at this kind of product so I am surprised.

    lol I don't think I would have ever picked it up after hearing the horrible things that happened when they had the now banned ingredients in them. I know they are no longer allowed to put them in the product but...still. I tend to be a bit on the hypochondriac side and the idea of putting something in my body that might make my heart race and have negative long term effects would make me panic. Even if that ingredient is no longer in them, I'd probably still panic :lol:

    Hope not. That's an expensive placebo to be taking forever.
