Anna Nicole Was On Non - Ephedra Weight Loss Pills

Thank goodness, she wasn't taking ephedra. The diet pill industry will be hammered by the announcement earlier today that Anna Nicole Smith was on a host of prescription drugs including weight loss medication, when she died last month. The model and TrimSpa spokeswoman was not taking ephedra.

Broward County Coroner Joshua Perper told the media during a press conference set up to reveal the results of Smith's autopsy. "she was taking a number of anti-anxiety drugs and weight reducing drugs, human growth hormones."

Among the drugs in Smith's system at the time of her death included Topamax. The Coroner said either human growth hormone or B12 had been injected into her buttocks days before her death.

Topamax is a drug generally used to treat seizures and migraines. A side effect in some patients can be a loss of taste.

Access Hollywood reported that studies on Topamax have revealed that when the medication is taken in higher doses of 100 MG or more can produce weight loss. HOLLYWOOD, Fl. (March 26, 2007)

Are Ephedra Pills back? Don’t believe it!

The new ad reads, "Ephedra5 - The Only Legal Ephedra Diet Product in the USA!" Be skeptical. Read ALL the article has to say including the fact that the form of ephedra used in this product has no ephedra alkaloids. Ask your self, "Why hasn't someone thought of this before?" The bottom line is that until we have a history of use, this probably will not help the majority lose weight.

More Ephedra and Weight Loss News

You have mail! The email claims Ephedra is legal again and that you can “click here” to “Get your Ephedra now. . . while you can!” The fact is that no more ephedra product will be made by reputable a company. Evidently, the FDA will allow current customers to make purchase from existing stock.

The FDA said its review of ephedrine alkaloids found the supplement posed an “unreasonable risk of illness or injury to users, especially those suffering from heart disease and high blood pressure.”

Advocates of Ephedra have protested the ruling and sought to dispute the risks of the supplement.

Ephedra, caffeine and aspirin stacks

Dietary experts, whoever "they" are constantly attack Ephedra and all other supplements, saying they are not a healthy way to diet. We agree. Metabadrine and other reputable ephedra products are a tool. They can help motivate you to diet and exercise to permanently lose and keep the weight off. Metabadrine and products like it will not lead to permanent weight loss. Ephedra, caffeine and aspirin stacks energize and multiply the effects of proper diet and exercise.

Consumers should be suspicious of internet ads that “promise or imply dramatic rapid weight loss.” Verify the Better Business Logo by clicking on it. If its fake, the product or weight loss service they offer is fake as well.

Since January, the Federal Trade Commission has filed actions that recovered $25 million from four quick-fix diet plans that made unsubstantiated weight-loss claims.

So how can you find a weight loss supplement or program that isn’t misleading?

The best weight loss programs focus on the reasons the pounds began to add up in the first place. Unless the program addresses how people eat everyday and encourages more physical activity it is only going to be temporary weight loss. The pounds will tragically come back.
