BIG FAT Lie #1

FALSE CLAIM #1: Garcinia Cambogia Indonesia tidak efektif menurunkan berat badan

Berikut cuplikan sinisme mereka yg entah dari mana sumbernya (editorial website kedokteran koq ngutip sumber aja gak bisa yah?) :

Namun hingga saat ini, khasiat HCA untuk melangsingkan tubuh masih belum dibuktikan dengan kuat. Diperlukan penelitian klinis lebih lanjut untuk mengakui khasiatnya. Berdasarkan penelitian yang dipublikasikan di Journal of Obesity, ditemukan bahwa orang yang mengonsumsi garcinia cambogia Indonesia hanya berhasil menurunkan bobotnya sekitar 0,9 kilogram saja lebih banyak dari orang yang tidak mengonsumsinya. Jumlah penurunan berat badan ini tidak cukup signifikan dan bisa saja terjadi karena efek diet kalori dan olahraga yang dijalani selama program berlangsung. Sumber: Tidak disebutkan

BANTAHAN KAMI:

Anggaplah ada sumber otentik yg mereka kutip untuk statement di atas (kami ragukan itu)… lantas apa tanggapan mereka dengan 10 clinical studies berikut? (Mengapa tidak dikutip juga? Tidak tahu atau pura-pura tidak tahu? Mengapa hanya dikutip yg jelek saja.. –itupun cuma SATU, dan itupun kalau betul ada sumbernya ya..) Silakan disimak:

Clinical Study 1:

In an 8-week randomized clinical trial, 40 patients were given either placebo or G. cambogia extract (500 mg/capsule) by mouth before each meal. Patients administered the extract exhibited weight loss and improvement in cholesterol and triglycerides when compared with the placebo group. *) Soni MG, Burdock GA, Preuss HG, Stohs SJ, Ohia SE, Bagchi D. Safety assessment of (-)-hydroxycitric acid and Super CitriMax, a novel calcium/potassium salt. Food Chem Toxicol . 2004;42(9):1513-1529.

Clinical Study 2:

In a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 40 obese patients were treated with a combination supplement containing G. cambogia 50 mg as well as a 1,200 calorie diet per day. Two tablets of the supplement were taken by mouth 3 times a day after meals. The treatment group attained a 3.5 kg weight loss versus 1.2 kg on placebo, and a more than 85% reduction in fat loss in body composition measurements. The majority of the active group participants did not follow the diet regimen. *) Thom E. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of a new weight-reducing agent of natural origin. J Int Med Res . 2000;28(5):229-233.

Clinical Study 3:

An 8-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study examined the efficacy of HCA-SX in 54 overweight patients. The treatment group was administered a combination supplement containing G. cambogia 500 mg 3 times a day while the control group received the placebo. All patients were asked to maintain a low-fat diet and drink 64 oz of water per day. The treatment group lost an average weight of 11.14 lb/person as compared with the control group, which lost an average of 4.2 lb/person. *) Lau FC, Bagchi M, Sen C, Roy S, Bagchi D. Nutrigenomic analysis of diet-gene interactions on functional supplements for weight management. Curr Genomics . 2008;9(4):239-251.

Clinical Study 4:

Another 8-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study examined the efficacy of HCA in 60 obese patients. The dosage regimen for HCA was 400 mg 3 times a day before each meal. All patients were on a low-fat diet and also instructed to exercise 3 times a week. Results indicated weight loss for the experimental group compared with the placebo group and that 87% of the weight loss in the HCA group was because of fat loss. Appetite scores were also reduced in the HCA-treated group. *) Lau FC, Bagchi M, Sen C, Roy S, Bagchi D.

Clinical Study 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10:

Numerous studies document the safety profile of the calcium-potassium double salt of 60% HCA preparation (HCA-SX), as well as its bioavailability and efficacy in helping patients attain a healthy body weight. *) Ohia SE, Opere CA, LeDay AM, Bagchi M, Bagchi D, Stohs SJ.
