Most interesting! I’ve written a (much less rigorous) post about a couple of other Dr. Oz-sanctioned products, in our series on weight loss after age 50. I’m off to add a link to this post.

In short, probably more. Which likely contributed to the weight loss. The active ingredient in many diet pills is caffeine. It encourages increased activity.

Does it have the same amount of caffeine as roasted coffee beans? I have ventricular tachycardia. If I take caffeine, nasty things happen to my heart rate. I think that would be a significant side effect.
