Here are 6 reasons why that’s a terrible idea: -
#1: Its known side effects include bowel obstruction, tumors, and organ damage.

#2: It results in rebound weight gain on the back-end.

#3: It multiplies the number of fat cells in the bodies of those who use the drug, which means you’ll have MORE fat cells in your body after you take it.https://t.co/7cUG4Cvkum
