AFRICAN MANGO?...REALLY?

Well, you can stop reading this blog now. The new super product to make us all skinny has arrived. It's been talked about on various news programs and Dr. Oz even talked about it on Oprah. What is it you ask? African Mango.  If you are a frequent reader of this blog (ah, so you're the one), then you know this is exactly the kind of thing that gets me fuming.


As I was reading online newspapers this morning, I came across some advertisements for this new super supplement. So, like I always do, but probably most people don't, I scrolled all the way down to the bottom of the page and I read the disclaimers written out  in teeny tiny print . I copied, pasted, and enlarged them for you to glance over .  I even highlighted the entertaining parts.

Let's go over the highlighted parts together, shall we?. Come on, it'll be fun. 

• Statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. So they could be lying or misleading and they won't be held accountable.
• MOYOBERRY? I thought this was an ad for African Mango, why are they talking about moyoberry, and what the heck is moyoberry anyway.
• They actually acknowledged that the best way to lose weight is through a reduced calorie diet and exercise. (Isn't that what I've been telling you?) So, why do we need to take African Mango?
• Typical weight loss will be 1-2 pounds a week. You know that is exactly what I've been saying in my blog, and that's without spending a lot of money on this stuff. Heck,  just send me half the money you would have spent on African Mango (just kidding).
• Individuals in the ads are remunerated. That means they get paid  to say they lost weight by taking African Mango.  Heck, if they paid me enough money, I would say I lost weight by eating "mud pies". (Again, just kidding)
• The second statement is my favorite. The web site is based loosely on a true story. WOW! And the story and comments are not to be taken literally. I almost fell out of my chair when I read that. Boy, sure is a ringing endorsement for African Mango.
