    Generally speaking, the supplement industry is a scam. There are few supplements that will provide noticeable benefits to the average person. Don't get caught up in that. If you aren't eating enough, get a good whey protein. Casein is fine too but it's the same protein that's in milk and yogurt. I prefer whole foods. After that, creatine is very useful.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Supplements are just that. To supplement the diet. Some people due to health conditions or lifestyle choices are going to need to supplement specific things. For instance I take a PPI. Those leach magnesium from your body and block absorption of vitamin B-12. So relying on diet alone for those would be an unwise choice.

    With regards to weight loss, I agree with Mr. D. They are largely a scam for the average person. There are a couple of new prescription drugs that appear to work, but you would need to take them lifelong and they come with bad side effects.

    When weight loss drugs were first developed they were not for the average person. They were for competing body builders. A man who was at 6% body fat doing everything right- workouts, diet, sleep/rest who needed to drop to 5.5% to be competitive on stage. That is what todays OTC weight loss drugs do well. If that is what you need I can suggest a couple of websites with supplements that work.

    For the average person a weight loss supplement is a waste of money. Workout, preferably with weights, eat right and get plenty of sleep. Once you do that we can talk.

    Literally just walking outside and breathing today is bad for you. The fact is the majority of us here will be dead from cancer within the next few decades. I think all the technology we surround ourselves with is far more impactful and dangerous to our health then any food substance. I would say almost 80% of anyone i know who dies today is from some form of cancer.

    Thanks. You are so right too. Not only are some supplements useless, but if you want to try one that you think might help, you have to sort through 1,000 brands. I don't drink much milk, but I do eat cheese and some yogurt

    I am actually fairly active for an old guy with hamburger knees. It's really the sweets. I lost over 100 lbs after gastric bypass and then gained it back after life got difficult with knee injury and personal tragedy. I handled those things the wrong way and here I am!
    Current plan is to taper off and not replace the sweets with chips/etc. If that works, I should be OK. My doc has discussed the medications, even prescribed one but I didn't tolerate it well. Insurance won't cover the injectables because I am not diabetic.
    I may try the casein.

    A lot of companies also underdose their products so, even if the benefits are well attested, it's not doing you any good.

    Processed sugars are a killer.If you have sugar cravings .A glass of whole milk usually satiates the craving for me.
