Another Diet Pill Bites the Dust<\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n

Author: Dr. Stephen Chaney<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"New<\/a>T<\/b>he New Year is upon us, and everyone is looking for an easy way to lose weight<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s face it. Losing weight is difficult<\/b>. You have to give up your favorite foods. You\u2019re often hungry and cranky. You have to change your lifestyle. And did I mention that you might need to put on your running shoes and go for a run or, heaven forbid, actually go to the gym.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so much easier to take one of those diet pills<\/b>. You know the ones I\u2019m talking about. They promise to give you energy<\/b> \u2013 burn the fat<\/b> \u2013 suppress your appetite<\/b>. All you need to do is take one of those little pills every day and, voila, you\u2019re ready to try on that bikini.<\/p>\n

It all sounds great. But are those diet pills really safe? A few weeks ago I shared with you that the experts have warned against the use of fat burning sports supplements<\/a>. They consider them unsafe. Now it’s time to turn our attention to the fat burning diet pills.<\/p>\n

Are Diet Pills Safe?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Lots of diet pills have come and gone over the years. Some have just faded away because they didn\u2019t work. They didn\u2019t live up to their claims. Others have been withdrawn from the market by regulatory agencies because they were dangerous or actually killed people- Ma huang and Fen-Phen come to mind, but there have been many others.<\/p>\n

And now it looks like yet another diet pill, one called Dexaprine, may have the same fate.<\/p>\n

The ads make it sound like a wonder pill.<\/p>\n
