None of the dietary supplements resembled Acacia rigidula in terms of their chemical composition. For example, nearly all of the supplements had high levels of a compound called phenethylamine, but this compound is found at very low levels in the plant itself. “Given the low natural abundance of [phenethylamine] in the plant materials, it appears nearly impossible to achieve the amounts of [phenethylamine] found in the dietary supplements by formulating them with plant material or extracts of A. rigidula,” the researchers wrote.

Kim Kardashian denies weight-loss plastic surgery: ‘I work out so hard’
I’m so proud of my accomplishment & NO ONE will take this away from me with fake reports! Say what you want about me, but I work hard and am the most disciplined person you will ever meet!” Kardashian was reacting to a Life & Style claim that she secretly got $80,000 in plastic-surgery procedures to achieve her stunning post-baby weight loss. The alleged cosmetic surgeries included fat-reducing ultrasound on her stomach, laser fat-burning, and stretch-mark treatments. Kim and other high-profile clients can sneak in through a back door, claimed an unnamed source. She even wore workout clothes to throw off the photographers and begged them to make it look like she was going inside to work out, not to get laser treatments.” The tabloid also claimed Kardashian has lost 70 pounds since giving birth to daughter North in June 2013. Kim has stated in numerous interviews that she lost 50 pounds by following the low-carb Atkins diet, where she limited carbs to no more than 60 grams a day and calories to less than 2,200.
