Well, I have researched it VERY THOROUGHLY.

I work in a hospital (in an administrative capacity) and was actually considering trying it.
Of course the first thing I did was talk to a bunch of physicians.

I spoke to about a dozen people (doctors & dietician), all of whom were familiar with the product and with people trying to lose weight.** There wasn't a single favorable response. I can't even post some of their responses because they were quite vulgar in their criticism.

Anyways, if you want an objective opinion, ask your doctor.*** See what he/she says
