Chelsea Clinton weight loss patch?

An herbal weight-loss patch in China is making health officials suspicious. Not only do the patch's marketers say that you'll lose weight simply by sticking the patch on the part of your body where you're trying to shed pounds, but they also claim to have a very famous client: Chelsea Clinton.

According to manufacturers, Clinton lost 26.5 lbs in under a month with the patch, and, supposedly, those who use it can literally watch the fat flow out of them. However, the "fat" that "flowed out" is really just oil contained in the patch itself, which is released when it is stuck to anything -- including inanimate objects.

Even though the product is obviously a scam, commercials the company aired making these outlandish claims quickly propelled sales to more than $26.32 million.

Just further proof that you shouldn't be suckered in by anything that promises amazing results with little or not effort. Remember: if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
