Fda Internet Inaction

On April 1, 2004, the United States Food and Drug Administration sent letters to distributors of various weight-loss products informing them that some claims found on their web sites there were not supported by reliable scientific evidence, and warning them that they must correct these claims or face government action. Was the FDA only fooling?

Decreases Fat

Web site states:

Lose weight while you sleep.

The overall result of these effects is an increase in lean tissue mass and a decrease in body fat.

This lack of circulating HGH is the factor that scientists now believe is responsible for the tendency of older individuals to have increased difficulty losing body fat. GABA signals the pituitary to naturally release HGH.
