"Loose 5kg, 10kg, 25kg in 30 days"---Really! I do wonder if it is acceptable newspaper ethic to run this kind of thing, taking up a quarter-page (color) of our morning paper. There may be a small-box 'disclaimer' buried somewhere else in the paper, but is that good enough?

At age 21, in a Seminary where Brother Cook turned out the most scrumptuous apple pies, I went up to 225 lbs within space of one year (psycho-explique---'Compensation'!).

I did get rid of it, and did use a prescribed capsule which most likely contained an 'energy-upper' and an appetite downer---but it took eight months, during which I had two poached eggs and a slice of tomato for breakfast, black unsugard tea and coffee (for the rest of my life), and never a crumb of bread or spoon of potatoe mash. When I finally tasted a slice of bread (at weight of 165 lbs) it was like a piece of cake.

I'd advise Herald to relegate 'Guarana' to the classifieds, with their 'caveat emptor disclaimer' in an adjoining column!
