Which SCIENTISTS have taken note if
I may ask?
The Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) Crap
Internet continues to be bombarded
with HCA miracle in Garcinia Cambogia. From ‘their’ findings, they have claimed
that the HCA extract in Garcinia Cambogia is a powerful weight loss aid in two
ways:
Appetite
Suppression
In layman's terms, serotonin is a
neurotransmitter in your brain that makes you feel good, and by increasing the
amount of serotonin in your body, HCA can improve your mood and suppress
emotional eating during times of stress. The claim is that HCA has shown a remarkable
ability to increase body's serotonin levels, which is key to suppressing
appetite.
Fat
Blocking
In studies, HCA has been found to
halt the fat-making process and also decrease production of unhealthy
cholesterol and due to its composition, Garcinia Cambogia can inhibit Citrate
Lyase — a key enzyme in your body that creates fat from carbohydrates. Without
Garcinia Cambogia, carbohydrates (sugars) that aren't immediately burned are
stored as fat.
And
Now the Truth
Both of the above claims do not have any
significance and bearing on weight loss. The production of these enzymes is
minute and like all others, constitutes just a fraction of the real deal. The pictures
you see on the internet can represent a good marketing strategy, but weight
loss?, give me a break! I have been working around weight loss since past two
decades and as a biochemist and endocrinologist, I can assure every reader here
that there is NO MIRACLE in weight loss. Simple reason: the body does not have
mechanisms built around an herb for weight loss. Period.
