Daily Discovery: Strange Stories and Amazing Facts: L-Carnitine Lie

L-Carnitine Lie

New products are sprouting everywhere bearing the "promise" of weight loss with their secret ingredient: L-Carnitine. Well it's not really a secret because they all but emboss their plastic bottles with its name.

L-Carnitine supplements, like the slimming pills in the drug stores, "slim drinks" in the groceries, do not help you burn fat.

It's a fact that L-Carnitine does help the body burn fat, but it's a lie that it'll help you when you intake such L-Carnitine-packed pills and drinks. There's no scientific proof, no concluding observations that can show you that someone actually lost weight or burnt more fat when he/she drank Del Monte's Fit 'n Right or Belo's SlimFit puke-flavored powdered juice.

Our greatest natural source of L-Carnitine is red meat. What you eat everyday is enough to meet the daily requirement of L-Carnitine. Anything that you ingest in excess is flushed out as crap/excess. However, anything that you ingest with it is counted as additional calories and is therefore fattening. You're better of drinking water which guarantees zero calories - non fattening, detoxifying.
