Many people who want to lose weight in the new year will turn to weight loss supplements, but according to a new survey conducted by Consumer Reports, misinformation about their quality and effectiveness abounds. For example, about 20% of the survey respondents believe that the FDA guarantees the safety and effectiveness of such supplements, when in fact it does not. About 25% believed that weight-loss supplements have fewer side effects than PTC or prescription medications, contradicting the fact that about 50% of those polled did develop at least one side effect. Experts say that there’s no evidence that weight-loss supplements work – if you want to lose weight and keep it off, stick to a healthy diet and regular exercise program.
