Diet pills: More fiction than fact

There are so many "diet" pills these days that it's hard not to look at one of them and consider it even close to legitimate. After all, diet pill marketers hone in on the need of customers to try and lose weight (and failing) consistently. And there you have it -- a billion-dollar scam business.

Although there are some pills that do actually work (according to customers), are any of them worth the bottle they ship in? The various over-the-counter and prescription diet pills are plentiful, and current faves like hoodia gordonii and even the newer Alli are being marketed furiously at the current time.

The Diet Channel takes a hard look at the various types of diet pills in this expose, which I found to be very interesting. Read it here -- and then reconsider whether that next sales pitch is really worth it.
