Publication: BLISSTREET

Summary:

A lot of popular weight- loss pills claiming to boost metabolism or burn fat are actually chock- full of banned pharmaceuticals and other harmful substance. 'All natural' weight- loss pill really just contain amphetamine, diuretics or steroid which can harm you. NYC Chinatown shops and found bunches of diet products that have been recalled in the U.S., contained harmful substances. Marketing drugs as supplements has become big business especially when it comes to weight- loss. But they are taken off the American market because of its tendency to up heart attack and stroke risk.

Issue:

In Japan, there are a lot of young girls want to be skinny even they are totally normal. What do you think makes them so?

How do you think what is the best way to lose your weight?

My opinion:

I think this is a big problem. I have wanted to try these kind of pills many times, but my mother has never let me to do. We cannot be fit only by taking pills.
