Body Solutions comment from Phil Kaplan.

In my opinion, it's THE all-time worst payola scam I have ever heard on AM radio. I don't understand why the FTC doesn't shut these people down. Product endorsement is illegal in some parts of Canada. So, why doesn't the U.S. get to these people under FTC regulations. This makes the payola scandal of the 50s look like there was nothing to it. Kind of like what Body Solutions does for your weight loss, eh?

Calorad pushes the envelope as far as claims are concerned. There are dozens of copycats, but none does it quite as good as Calorad. Please do not ask me any further questions about it. I'm growing sleepy, and I'm still not losing weight.

Body Solutions is the target of a lawsuit

Two Michigan men are suing the company behind the weight loss product called "Body Solutions." A Downriver man said that he spent more than $170 on the product and did not lose any weight after using it for three months. The company does not have a refund policy. The lawsuits allege that Mark Nutritionals violated the State Consumer Product Act by claiming that people could lose weight while sleeping, when it has no proof for the claim. The lawsuit says that disc jockeys do not reveal that they receive the product for free and are paid for testimonials.

Ingredients include caffeine, ginkgo biloba (an herb believed to enhance memory) and ephedra (a controversial herbal stimulant that speeds up the heartbeat and sometimes elevates blood pressure). The Food and Drug Administration, which regulates foods, drugs and medical devices, is determining whether to more tightly regulate ephedra and other related ephedrine products.
