Here's a Thought: Death by Cancer

So, they’ve recalled Hydroxycut. Seems it causes liver damage. Dangit. Just because we want to lose weight, doesn’t mean we want to do it by losing organs. When will the corporations figure that out? It was my last try before having to resort to something really desperate: diet and exercise. Ha! I hate doing things that I hate. I do walk a good bit, and I kayak when I can. I haven’t eaten beef in about 18 years, and I eat a lot of fish. No point here, just braggin’ on my good points. The kind of Hydroxycut I have is the little paper tubes of powder, so you can pour it into your water bottle. Hydroxycut to go! Liver damage on the run! I guess a good rule of thumb is, if something is in a form where you can slip into someone’s drink as a mickey, it’s probably not healthy. So, now I’m wondering if I can return my unfinished box of paper tubes packed with the dangerous powder, and get my money back.  |
