Even better, a vaguely regulated industry generates whopping profits of almost 12 per cent, when averaged out. Take the fact that, in the U.S., the diet-supplement industry – the people who promise to melt pounds fast! In days! Without leaving the couch! – is worth upwards of $14-billion, according to The Wall Street Journal. Barnum you might appreciate the success of a business that thrives on its own failure.
You don't need to be Newton to do the math, but if you were P.T. The diet industry – slimming companies, supplement peddlers, bestselling authors – grows apace with the Western world's expanding waistlines.

Senator Claire McCaskill, clearly the star of Top Chef Capitol Hill, relished her job as she turned Dr. He had also raved about the slimming properties of garcinia extract and raspberry ketones, which frankly sound more like the ingredients of a hippie pot luck than the path to long-term weight loss. Oz show this way: "You may think magic is make believe, but this little bean has scientists saying they've found the magic weight-loss cure for every body type." (I'm not sure how often you're allowed to say "magic" in medical school before they kick you out.)
Take green coffee bean extract, for example, which he had promoted on his popular Dr. Senate committee on consumer protection to talk about his questionable endorsements of various enchanted potions that would cause fat to melt away like butter on hot popcorn. Oz, handsome star of the television screen and operating theatre, appeared before a U.S. Possibly it's one of those verboten diet foods maybe it gives you goose caboose.
