A robot goes out there and picks up news with the phrase "fat" mentioned. So sometimes off the topic articles are picked out.

But I like this one. With weight loss you have to be careful. Careful about the pills and supplements that you take. Careful that what you take has been thoroughly tested and approved. And just as well that we check, as there are things out there that can cause harm. At least thats what has happened to our pets that have been subjected to additives now found to be harmful.

All the best.

There was a furor in the US a couple of weeks ago and recall of pet food because of the deaths. So, now this, huh.

As for supplements, one should be extra careful about those that claim weight loss.
Again, post ops need to follow their surgeons' instructions on taking their vitamins and minerals so as not to develop deficiencies. So long as you take what your dr recommends, you should be safe...unless the pharmaceutical companies are cheating.
