Read an article in the paper yesterday that these kinds of drinks are sending people to the ER with symptoms of heart attacks. My son and his friends drink them like koolaide. I gave them the article, they are back to Mt. Dew.
It's never too late to get it right.

I don't think it will end up being some "miracle drink". I did go to the Enviga website and read more about it. They did a double-blind study of only 30 people, and these people were kept on a normal but "controlled" diet which makes me wonder, was it the controlled diet, the Enviga, or both? Anyway, I see this as no different than all the other products littering drug store/grocery store shelves, giving false hope to those who really want to lose weight. And as with any other products that claim they boost metabolism, burn fat, etc-what happens when you no longer take it? Do you gain back the weight?

I think it's good that they are being asked to provide the science for their claims. I wonder if they have any disclaimer anywhere that "these claims have not been evaluated by the USDA" like the supplements have.
