Okay so I'm going to manufacture a product called Hydroxycut and say that it causes weight loss.

In 2003 I am going to get sued and lose for making the false claims that my product is a "clinically proven fat burner"

Then in May of 2009 the FDA is going to come in and shut me down for making unsubstantiated claims again and force me to repay $30 million to customers I sold the unproven product, including the ones with liver damage and the family of the one person that died from using the product.

I'm going to lay low for a bit and "reformulate" a product that now contains nothing more than herbs, spices, and mostly caffeine.

In July of 2010 the FTC is going to fine me another $5.5 million for claiming my product not only causes weight loss but also treats or prevents colds, flu, Allergies, and hay fever. Wow!

And yet current law still allows me to operate.

After 6 months I'm going to launch a huge ad blitz with a lot of "trick" language that lets me continue to sell a product with absolutely no clinical evidence or documentation.

What could go wrong with this product?

Why, because people are desperate to lose weight and there will always be someone there to sell them a "quick fix remedy" that doesn't work. The $60 billion weight loss industry is just too lucrative and profitable for these guys to stay away.

If any of this stuff worked, why would 2/3 of US adults be overweight or obese?

Now, do you think it will work for you?

These supplement manufacturers are using human guinea pigs (you) for these products. As long as no one gets sick or dies, and they don't get fined or shut down they will keep making and selling this junk. Whether it works or not.

I am in no way a supporter of "big government" but hopefully the FDA will be given the authority some day to shut down these con men.
