What African mango seed brand did Dr Oz recommend?

In this month's(January 2012) First magazine, Dr Oz recommends a brand of african mango seeds for weight loss and trimming the waistline that have been clinically proven. He cautions that not all brands include the same nutrients, and the doctor only endorses one brand. Does anyone know which one? Thanks.

    Dr. Oz has never recommended any brand. Visit his website and you will see a statement he made making it explicitly clear he never endorses any specific brand of supplement. He did do a show about the "possible" benefit of a chemical in mango seed extract and that started all the trouble for him. Trust me. If it truly worked the pharmaceutical companies would already have extracted the active component, run true clinical trials not studies, and patented it as a proven drug.

    Mangoes are just a part of an overall healthy diet.

    Anything in a supplement pill does two things.

    First, you deny yourself the wonderful fiber in fresh mango. Fiber keeps your system active, clean, and regular. A healthy high fiber diet aids the immune system more than just about anything.

    Second, dietary supplements are not regulated so often do not contain exactly what is on the label.

    Eating mango or ground mango seed will not make you lose weight, that is all just hype. African mango seed extract is the latest "weight loss miracle" that doesn't work. Right behind acai berry, hoodia, fruta planta, green tea extract, chia seeds, maqui berry, and all the other "exotic" supplements out there.

    Again a healthy high fiber diet is the best weight loss tool available.

    Both Oprah and Dr. Oz have filed lawsuits against all these peddlers exploiting their names to profit. These sites have been reported as spam and should legally be removed soon. There are just so many his lawyers can only do so much. Save your money.

    Good luck.

    Every one says that for losing weight one must burn more calories then one eats.

    All focus on either eating less or burning more. Strangely enough when u eat less ur body heats up initially. After some time there is no energy in the body. So people says eating less is not the final solution. One must eat less but do more exercises. When a person exerts more than he is used to in recent past he gets tired. The result he will rest more or eat more.

    So what is the solution. Those who have seen titanic, would remember that man woman body in touch produces lot of heat. That means it burns lot of calories. A cold a person burns more calories.

    Then u have some people who say that sex act burns lot of calories. But that tires out a person. There is a limit to that as well. Physically as well as emotionally.

    Now start thinking - is it just the sex act that produces hear. I do not think so. Even body contact produces lot of heat. That is not tiring physically of emotionally.

    It could be emotionally. But I wonder whether it has to be body touch by other sex or could be even contact with the person of same sex.

    May be the heat is generated even when ur own body touches other parts of the body.

    I think that is true.

    So to burn more calories one may try sleeping without putting on clothes. Wearing pants or shirts may cause the body parts not touching other body part.

    By when u are not wearing anything but are safe under suitable mattresses or quilts ur body parts are in touch. When u are sleeping u can burn more calories.

    That will teach u to master ur body better over a period of time.

    U can eat what u feel like and burn those excess calories without tiring urself. May be u are fresh and more energetic in the morning when u get up to burn more calories.
