With the American obesity rate being nearly 36 percent among adults and nearly 17 percent among children and adolescents according to ABCnews.com, it’s no surprise that people are looking for a “cure.”
Supplement companies, like Pure Health, have been releasing products containing red raspberry ketones and promoting them as a weight loss supplement.
These releases are seemingly coinciding with a recent episode of Dr. Mehmet Oz’s show promoting their benefits.
According to the “Dr. Oz Show” website, the raspberry ketone supplement has no side effects and is safe and healthy.
“The compound regulates adiponectin, a hormone that causes your body to boost metabolism. In turn, the fat within your cells gets broken up more effectively, helping your body burn fat faster and more efficiently.”
Lisa Lynn, a weight loss expert said on the show that in order to get the 100mg daily dose you would have to eat 90 pounds of raspberries, but that would be too many calories in sugar.
Pure Health released their supplement on March 21.
According to the press release, “Each 400 milligram vegetarian capsule [containing] only fresh Red Raspberry Ketones with absolutely nothing else added… no preservatives, no fillers, no binders, nothing but pure, fresh Red Raspberry Ketones”
