One in seven have tried diet pills, research shows. A surprisingly high number of Americans take diet pills for weight loss.

Researchers surveyed more than 9,000 adults about their supplement use. They found that one in seven people had taken supplements to try to lose weight at some point.

Young women between 18 and 34 were the most likely to have tried the supplements.
The drug industry as does this survey promotes the idea that most people who use diet pills have no idea they are not tested for safety and effectiveness the way prescription drugs are. However, when you consider utter carnage caused by Fen-Phen and Vioxx along with the fact that 100,000 people die every year from prescription durgs. it is no wonder most thinking peopls prefer natural weight loss supplements sold on hte internet and through locak health food stores. Oh, and they are available at hte local drug store, too. Go figure?

Natural diet pills seem like a quick fix but they are a waste of money ifyou do not change your lifestyle: eat a diet heavy in fresh fruit and vegitables and evercise. Start slow. Go for thirty minute walks daily.
