Diet pill addiction seems be a constant focus in todays news , with a large amount of users developing deadly disorders . Many of the diet pills on offer are actually being purchased online where traders , particularly in China , are selling tablets containing the highly toxic industrial chemical dinitrophenol , also known as DNP . The chemical can cause the body to overheat leading to hyperthermia and can even burn users ’ insides . It is also widely used as an explosive and for agricultural pesticides , something you wouldn ’ t dare want to put in your mouth . While you may think your saving some money buying these diet pills online what you really don ’ t know is what kind of damaging chemicals they actually contain .
Although buying diet pills online ( or any kind of pills for that matter ) is a risky business it doesn ’ t mean that whats on offer on the high street is any better . The scary thing is , they are so easily available , in fact , just as easy as buying a packet of sweets . It ’ s no surprise that people are becoming addicted . What may just start out as one tablet a day , can easily lead to a routine of constant pill popping , with recent cases of people taking up to 90 pills a week .
Loosing weight as quick as possible is what most of us wish we could do and this is why diet pills have become so popular- they are the quick fix to loosing our unwanted pounds . It is said that taking these pills for just over a week can make people loose up to 12-14 pounds . Of course , while this may all sound like a dream senario , this easy , shortcut solution will never be good in the long run . You may be tired of hearing it , but the only way your really going to reduce weight is a balanced diet along with moderate exercise , which will work in the long term .
