Obesity is just as big a problem in the U.K. as the USA
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
This article is a brief summary of three weight loss supplements and
drugs. It comes from the U.K., demonstrating how obesity is just as
widespread a problem in Europe as it is in the U.S. Nearly two-thirds of
Americans are overweight, and we clearly need a new strategy that
incorporates nutrition, fitness and perhaps some weight loss supplements
as well. My vote is for hoodia, of course, since it's a natural appetite
suppressant and has none of the bizarre side effects of some
prescription drugs. (Can you say "anal discharge?")
A hormone released in the gut when the stomach is full that tells the
brain not to eat anymore (overweight people produce a third less of it).
A cactus used by the tribesmen of the Kalahari Desert to stave off
hunger, it is marketed online as the "miracle cactus".
Those on hoodia ate 1,000 fewer calories a day than the rest.
The drug that fools the body into feeling full, is available on pre-
scription.
A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that
children aged 13 with weight problems lost more than a stone when taking
the drug over six months.
