Diet Pills:
Tremendous Temptation, Huge Frauds
By Dana Scripca
False campaigns
More than 50 percent of Americans and Canadians
are overweight or obese. More than a half the advertising campaigns for diet
pills and dietary supplements are intentionally false or fail to reveal the
truth, according to the FTC. This enormous proportion reveals the dimensions
of this money-generating industry. Consumers in North America spend more
than $35 billion each year on weight-loss products.
The FDA investigated 300 weight-loss ads from
the radio, television, the Internet, magazines, newspapers, e-mail and direct
mail. The FDA report concluded that some ads promised significant results
without surgery, diet or exercise. Other companies claimed that taking their
product would be enough for a quick weight loss. There was no need to eat
less or diet. Just take pills.
Fraudulent schemes
The main frauds:
1. Manufacturers promise that their pills will
deliver spectacular results, without any effort or exercise. Diet pills are
presented as miracles. Just a few mention the FDA-approved diet pill.
2. They fail to admit completely and honestly
the risks and side effects.
Many scams have been revealed so far. Here are
a few examples:
* Bentley-Myers and three weight-loss products
Zymax, MillinesES (both containing ephedra), and Serotril (containing St.
John's wort) were brought under an intense spotlight when the FTC filed a
federal court complaint. The FTC alleged that these diet pills caused rapid
and substantial weight loss without diet or exercise and with no side effects.
An additional charge referred to another dietary supplement, CartazyneDS,
containing glucosamine. This was promoted as having the ingredients to cure
arthritis and rebuild cartilage in just a few days.
* CortiSlim Lawsuit July 2004 Some CortiSlim
TV commercials claimed that the human body is able to manage and normalize
weight through Cortisol, the stress hormone. Charging the producer and
distributor, public health officials argued that this supplement has no
substantiated scientific support.
* Metabolife supplement and brain damages A jury
in Houston awarded $7.4 million to a woman who suffered brain damage in a
stroke, as a consequence of taking the Metabolife supplement to lose weight.
She had been persuaded by commercials that this supplement was safe and had
no side effects.
* Mendacious campaigns for the Ephedra-based
supplement Trimspa An American hypnotist, Alex Szynalski, and a former Playboy
Bunny (Anna Nicole Smith) joined in a Trimspa commercial which was considered
"deceptive advertising" by the New Jersey Attorney General. The hypnotist
was accused of luring consumers to his Goen Lose Weight Hypnosis seminars
and then tempting them to buy the Trimspa supplements he produced.
* Kava Kava stop sales. Health Canada launched
a public warning that this herb, found in supplements and sometimes in food
is under suspicion. Its consumption was linked to liver disfunction and toxicity.
FDA warned that the Kava extract is delivered under many other names which
are difficult to find on the label (kava, kava kava, kava-kava, kava root,
kava-kava root, kavain, kava pepper, kavapipar, kawa, kawa kawa, kawa pepper,
kawapfeffer, maori kava, rhizoma di kava-kava, ava, ava pepper, ava root,
awa, gea, gi, intoxicating pepper, intoxicating long pepper, kao, Piper
methysticum, Macropiper Latifolium, Piper inebrians, Malohu, maluk, meruk,
milik, kew, Rauschpfeffer, sakau, tonga, Wurzelstock, yagona, yangona, yaqona,
yongona).
* The invisible Zoller laboratories. Intrigued
by the name of diet pills suggested to be taken by Britney Spears, somebody
tried to identify the producer of Zantrex 3. Zoller laboratories, apparently
producing Zantrex 3, were not listed in any database. They were just a firm
created by Basic Research, the company distributing Zantrex 3, for fear that
its real name would sound too scientific to the public. The confusion induced
by this phantom company nevertheless affected the credibility of the
company.
