324.0. "Food absorbing pills?" by SKIVT::L_BURKE () Thu Jul 14 1988 12:41

    Has anyone out there heard of or experienced the new "too good to
    be true" products that supposedly absorb or surround your food so
    that it is not digested thereby lowering your caloric intake?
    
    One that I have heard advertised is "CALBAN 300".
    
    Appreciate your inputs.

324.2calban 3000DPDMAI::FRAMELISat Jul 16 1988 13:2612
    i took calban 3000 for over 3 weeks without realizing any weight
    loss, i returned the empty containers, and with the aid of american
    express got a full refund. while on the pills i experienced an
    alergetic reaction similiar to what you get if you have an 
    intolerance to milk. i still have a 3 weeks supply at the house
    but i don't plan to use them.
    
    your best bet would be to exercise more and eat a low fat/sugar
    diet. i'm walking 3.6 to 4.8 miles a day, eatting less fat, sugar,
    etc.. i've lost 7 lbs in the last week and  a half

    	This is by no means official, since he's been wrong before, but
    a neighbor of mine who is a medical student says that the FDA is
    in the act of acting against this exact pill, "Calban".
