SlimChews™ Review: Revolutionary Weight Loss? Really?
The first I heard about SlimChews™ was the other morning a when a piece of unsolicited bulk e-mail (aka “spam”) showed up in my mailbox (if you’ve received SlimChews™ spam, contact us and let us know!).

SlendeSlim™ is one of the many new fat burners and diet pills that capitalizes on the common misconception that “patented” ingredients are proven ingredients. Not so.
