Can you lose weight by taking a pill, powder, or tea? Find out the truth--and the risks...

Containing up-to-date, authoritative information, The Diet Pill Book spells out what over 200 name-brand products contain and analyzes the validity of the manufacturers' claims. Warnings, cautions, and possible allergic reactions are clearly stated. This essential reference covers:
