Is it real? or is Dr. Oz pulling our Garcinia Cambogia?

Sounds too good to be true and you know what that means? Watched Dr. Oz talk about it and how good it was but couldnt help feel like I was watching an infomercial.

Any experience or thoughts?

There is only so much that can be said about legitimate medical material, so coming up with something for an hour a day for five days a week is very difficult.

So, he has descended more and more into odd-ball stuff. This has been going on for at least a year. I really don't watch or recommend him anymore.

he hasn't had a meaningful contribution to health since he met Oprah and found riches on TV to be so much better and easier than those in the clinic.

Both Oprah and Oz have been off the deep end for some time.

...in this video than in conventional "fat-busting" commercials. Lypo-suction in a pill comes to mind and is getting a lot of play these days.

As it is an actual food, it should interest The Walking Obese if they actually have any interest in changing their body image. It's more filling than a pill and doesn't involve 'not eating' or excessive physical activity. Though not a dieter, this sounds pretty good to me.

I can only marvel at the power of the established health industry, that they would seek to suppress the advantages of a healthy diet, specific foods (not yet under corporate control) and spend their money instead, on phoney baloney, mass media hysterical propaganda that funnels legitimate health concerns into the pill-popping, instant gratification culture of the free-market health industry.

The first stage of Kill the Messenger is up and running. We're just waiting for the Corporate Scientists to show up and pat our sceptical heads with their usual:

"We've already got Lypo-Suction!!"
