Do your research

[Mike]

How many of you actually research the ingredients in the diet pill formulas that you take before you take them? And I mean every single ingredient.

I'll be the first to admit that I rarely do. I tend to think that they're not dangerous because it's a dietary supplement, but a buddy of mine recently had a wicked allergic reaction to a pill containing chitosan. He didn't realize that it was derived from shellfish to which he has an allergy. After his scare, I started to take what I'm putting in my body a little more seriously. What about the rest of you?

I certainly don't do this. I know I should but it's kinda hard to do this when there is so much conflicting information out there. Mostly I pay attention to how much quantities of each ingredient are in the formula and try to choose products with ingredients that I somewhat recognize.
