Part of the problem is FDA going "Chicken Little" on us. Cyclamates were banned because of a genetic mutation test that its creator declared to be invalid. Phenolphthalein used as a constipation relief dates back over 100 years and was banned on the same lame grounds. Ronald Reagan warned us about "I'm from the Government and I'm here to help you." There they go again....

'Japan' is just the name of the product. But there's a chance that Japanese people will buy it because of the name, hence the reason why the editor chose to post this article

There seems to be a pill available for everything these days and they all have side affects that are far worse than the symptom they are supposed to cure. A proper diet and exercise are all that iare needed in almost every case of obesity, Eat fewer calories than your body burns each day and increase your metabolism via simply walking,swimming or bike riding and you will lose weight..No magic pills are needed ,just some good old fashioned self discipline.
