I recently came across a woman who may have been suffering from diet pill induced hallucinations. This led to a semi-serious conversation with Chyna. The truth is that warning is rarely on the front of the package. Chyna joked that things like may cause hallucinations are more than likely on the back in the smallest font possible. That got me thinking.
Maybe that is what I should be reading first instead of the ingredients. Think about it for a minute. We all know that the catch is usually in the fine print of contracts and those win a prize deals, but how many of us think about that for our food and diet products. I liken it to those commercials for things like Cialis and Work Shift Syndrome. After you hear the long list of possible side effects for the pill to help those who work the night shift (heart attack, suicidal thoughts, paranoia, manic episodes, etc.) you realize that a cup of coffee will work just as well.
I am sure that if the front of the box said that it could result in a psychotic break she would have just cut out the carbs.
