Posted 20 November 2015 We have previously pointed out that the USA Federal Trade Commission has acted against sellers of products claiming that green coffee bean can result in weight loss. This interesting video has amazingly, adapted to point out that the study that their claims were based on, were false: “Please Ignore This Study: We discovered the Methodology was corrupted post peer release.” … Read the rest Posted 21 September 2015 This article, by Scott Gavura, was posted to Science-Based Medicine on October 23, 2014. News this week that a randomized controlled trial of green coffee bean (GCB) has been officially retracted from the medical literature signals what is hopefully the end to one of the most questionable diet products to appear on the market in years.

GCB had some powerful boosters, too. Once it became one of Dr. Oz’s “miracle” weight loss cures, sales exploded following two hype-filled episodes.
