No, but I am generally against efforts to try and alter our natural
metabolism, if it actually does that. Most of the stuff is totally
worthless. Ally really works, but side effects are terrible not to
mention the terrible cost. There appear to be 2 schools of thought on
the subject of pills to alter metabolism. 1) that we evolved in a
world where food was often scarce, so we are programmed to stuff our
faces with as much high cal food as possible in order to survive
periods of famine....problem is of course there is no famine, for
overweight folks, but they reason that since being overweight is a
serious medical issue, availiability of food is not a factor, and most
people do not get enough exercise, anything that can help would be
useful, and 2) the other point of view, more closely to mine is that
we have the ability to control our environment and make good food and
exercise choices already, so we do not need drugs for a problem that
is simply life-style related (for the vast majority of cases). The
side effects of the only useful drugs are also significant. I might
change my mind on the topic though, if someone could develop a totally
safe, cheap diet drug. I think that is very unlikely though given the
history of all the drugs that try to alter the bodies metabolism in
some way and all the side effects that come with the "cure". Also, it
just seems kind of wrong to eat like gluttons, while some of the world
is in starvation mode. Bad Karma. dkw
