Good news for those of us whose inboxes are bombarded with endless spam offering the ultimate weight-loss solution (read: everyone with an email address), here's been a small victory in the form of this lawsuit. A judge has issues a restraining order against a Nevada-based neutraceuticals company that's been making false or unsubstantiated weight-loss claims against it's products, which include ones containing Hoodia Gordini, via Email spam. Apparently, the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) logged over 85,000 Emails from the defendant, Sili Neutraceuticals LLC and owner Brian McDaid, doing business as Kaycon Ltd.

What do you think about this ruling -- should freedom of speech prevail or should we be working harder to shut down all scammers and spammers?

If I had a dime for every time I heard an annoying LA Weight Loss ad or promotional plug ... well, let's just say I wouldn't be taking the bus to work. So many local celebrities claim to have lost their spare tires on the program and I'm glad I'm not more susceptible to the media or I would probably be signing up too. But what's the deal with LA Weight Loss? Does it actually work?

Perhaps. But the fact remains that the program is quite expensive. Something that also might be of interest to those thinking of signing up is that the company was fined in 2002 for misleading customers with false claims.
