			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/col-nx.jpg" alt="col-nx" title="col-nx" width="78" height="139" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1446" />Col-nX is a diet pill that claims it will help you &#8220;Get rid of unnecessary weight and toxin buildup&#8221; (website). This Col-nX review will unravel the truth behind this product so you know what you can really expect from Col-nX.</p>
<h3>Col-nX Ingredients</h3>
<p>The following are the ingredients contained in Col-nX diet pills, according to the product label:<br />
Proprietary Blend 725 mg<br />
Psyllium<br />
Fennell<br />
Cascara Sagrada is a natural laxative, but it does have some side effects. You should not take Cascara Sagrada for longer than 7 days in a row.<br />
Buckthorn<br />
Licorice<br />
Rhubarb<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/">Ginger</a> calms the stomach; it does not cause weight loss.<br />
Goldenseal Extract</p>
<p>This list of fibers is pretty usual for diet pills that claim to cleanse your system. None of the ingredients in Col-nX have been proven to contribute to weight loss. The Col-nX label states, &#8220;This product contains a stimulant laxative.&#8221; You will get the same results from taking an over-the-counter laxative; Col-nX is nothing special. It might help you lose weight, but you will likely spend several days on the toilet in order to do so.</p>
<h3>Col-nX Free Trial</h3>
<p>The Col-nX website offers a free 14 day trial. It has a countdown ticker that says &#8220;offer only available for the next 5:00.&#8221; If you refresh the page the countdown starts over. They just want you to think you are getting a good deal so you are more likely to buy Col-nX diet pills.<br />
<br />
There is a lot of fine print about the free trial. You have 14 days (including transit time) to cancel your free trial. If you do not cancel, you will be enrolled in autoship (they automatically ship you more product each month and charge your credit card). You will be charged $80.90 per month plus $8.99 shipping. This is just another deceptive way to take more money from you.</p>
<h3>Col-nX Website</h3>
<p>This is one of the most misleading diet pill websites we have seen, and that is saying a lot. There are several paid testimonials on the site (they even admit they are paid). How can you give any credibility to a paid testimonial? </p>
<p>They also claim Col-nX has been &#8220;Featured by Katie Couric&#8221;(website). There is a video of Katie Couric talking about Colon Cancer and the importance of having a Colonoscopy, but the video says NOTHING about Col-nX, nor does it show the product. </p>
<h3>Col-nX Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Col-nX review finds there is NO reason to believe Col-nX diet pills will make a significant contribution to weight loss. In reality, you can get the same results from any laxative, and at a MUCH lower price. Col-nX employs several unethical and misleading practices to con you into buying their product.<br />
<br />
If you are willing to spend half your day on the toilet in order to lose weight, go ahead and try Col-nX. Otherwise, if you want a more pleasant experience with real weight loss results, take a diet pill that actually contains clinically proven ingredients. Check out our recommended products to find one that will work for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/acaipure.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-717" title="acaipure" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/acaipure.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="60" /></a>AcaiPure is a diet pill that &#8220;contains the most powerful and effective ingredients for internal cleansing available anywhere on the market today&#8221; (website). AcaiPure supposedly cleanses your body, causing you to lose weight. This AcaiPure review will reveal the truth behind Acai berry, a popular diet pill ingredient, to help you see what you can really expect from AcaiPure diet pills.</p>
<h3>AcaiPure Ingredients</h3>
<p>Acai berry ( pronounced ah-saw-hee) is full of antioxidants. According to the AcaiPure customer service representative we spoke with, Acai berry is &#8220;like scrubbing bubbles to a shower.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fennel seed is supposed to improve eyesight. There is no proof that it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Psyllum seed</p>
<p>Burkthron bark</p>
<p>Licorice is an expectorant and is included in many cough syrups. It does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Ginger root decreases nausea.</p>
<p>AcaiPure does not contain any ingredients that have been proven to contribute to weight loss. There is NO scientific evidence that any of these ingredients will give you the &#8220;internal cleansing&#8221; promised by AcaiPure.</p>
<h3>AcaiPure Cost</h3>
<p>AcaiPure diet pills cost $39.95 per month. While this is not especially expensive for a diet pill, since there is no scientific proof that AcaiPure will work, any amount is too much for this product.</p>
<h3>AcaiPure &#8220;$1 Trial&#8221;</h3>
<p>The AcaiPure website touts their 20-day $1 trial. They claim there are only 75 trials left. Go check their website&#8211;it will still say 75 trials left. What they only say in the fine print is that if you don&#8217;t cancel within the 20 days you will be enrolled in autoship (they will automatically send you more product every month and charge your credit card for it).</p>
<h3>AcaiPure Guarantee</h3>
<p>AcaiPure boasts a <span class="whiteheader">100% Total Satisfaction Guarantee/Return Policy. However, they do not accept open packages. Also, they charge a 15% restocking fee. You have to return AcaiPure diet pills within 30 days to get a refund. We like a 90 day guarantee and we never agree with restocking fees.<br />
</span></p>
<h3>AcaiPure Customer Service</h3>
<p>We contacted AcaiPure Customer Service to answer a few questions. They claim that most people see results after 3 months (at an average of 15-20 pounds). We asked why they only offer a 30 day guarantee if it can take 3 months to see any results and they said, &#8220;Every person is different.&#8221; Obviously they have no other reason than to get your money.</p>
<p>The AcaiPure representative we spoke with encouraged using their hoodia product along with AcaiPure for best results. That figures since hoodia. like acai, is an overhyped ingredient that does not cause weight loss. Once again, AcaiPure is just after your money.</p>
<h3>AcaiPure Conclusion</h3>
<p>This AcaiPure review finds AcaiPure is just another acai diet pill&#8211;one that doesn&#8217;t work. None of the ingredients in AcaiPure have been proven to contribute to weight loss. If you really want to lose weight, forget about celebrity endorsements. Go with a diet pill that contains clinically proven ingredients in appropriate amounts. Not sure what ingredients are proven? Look through the diet pill ingredients section of our website and then search our recommended products.</p>
