Just read about this, endorsed by Dr. Oz. wondering if anyone has had experience or knows if it is safe for women with ER+ br ca. It in an extract of the tamarind fruit. the woman who runs a local health food store siad she used it but stopped taking it as she practically had no appetite. Says it's been around for years.....

I don't know where I read this, but I know I did. It's one of the active ingredients in HYDROXYCUT; that stuff on late night commercials. I'd be pretty wary of any of these products. I also remember reading that hydroxycut was extremely dangerous and was pulled. It was then re-formulated to contain the tamarind extract and put back on the market claiming it was now "natural". It all sounds really sketchy to me but if you're seriously considering it, I'd do a lot more research.

All this could also be my own bias, but trusting a tv doctor sounds like a really bad idea.

Flanelette, it sounds fishy to me, and there are better ways to lose weight.

Thanks for your input, folks. I did check out the link above and no extra estrogen circulating measured in the studies, but still - I think I'll give it a pass.
