is it wrong to consider this?

CM3 Alginate

What It Is
Brown seaweed that expands in your stomach.

Claim
It’s apparently Germany’s best-selling natural appetite suppressant. You can lose five to ten pounds in a week with no side effects, says importer Oz Garcia’s rep.

Lag Time
One week.

Price
$65 for two-week supply.

Drawback
You may be thin and have no diet-pill jitters, but a stomach full of brown algae could have you running to the loo.
