How effective are the diet pill reviews?
Recently I was reading Terry Sandhu’s article on diet pills and their properties on ezinearticles. He pointed some instances where consumption of diet pills led to the death of some, as a result of the side effects.
This forced me to question myself, “Are diet pills murderous?” Initially I could not believe it as I have seen many people benefit form the weight loss programs, which included consumption of weight loss pills like Phenocal and Orovo. Then I read some more diet pill reviews and each one had different opinions about the same product. By now I had figured out that, the problem is not with the diet pills, but with the reviews – as they can be misleading.
So, how to check the effectiveness of the reviews? Well, its simple. Follow these 7 steps:
-
Check whether the author/reviewer is a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in the related industry.
-
How much experience does the SME has in this industry?
-
Look out for the examples (if provided) by SME, and try to verify them.
-
Never believe on stories like, In 1999 a 40 year old women died of hearth attack as she was consuming ‘x’ diet pill.
-
Contact the SME personally to verify the facts mentioned in the review.
-
Make sure that the SME is not targeting a single product, as this can be to play down the competitor.
-
And most importantly, always consult your physician before taking any pills.
