What’s Luck Got To Do With It?
One of my jobs here at UltimateFatBurner.com is to moderate visitors’ comments over at our sister site, Real-Customer-Comments.com. Here, everyday folks share their experiences (positive and negative both) with many popular weight loss and body building supplements with our visitors.

I’m Glad I’m Living in the 21st Century
Among other things, living in the 21st century means there are some standards in place for diet supplements. At least they don’t contain ingredients like this (click to enlarge): How common were such “supps?” Tough to say… according to Snopes.com: As unlikely as this must sound, there might be some reason to believe tapeworm diet pills were once marketed in the United States between 1900 and 1920.
