Summary

BREAKING NEWS! We just discovered the biggest weight loss breakthrough of the 21st century!! It’s definitely not a scam!!!!!!!!!1

You don’t need to diet! You don’t need to exercise! Simply sprinkle Sensa on your food, then watch the weight fall off! IT’S THAT EASY!

…Please don’t ask any questions about how the product works. Definitely don’t ask about the clinical trials. Just hand over your credit card and check those critical thinking skills at the door.

And now for a note about our process. For this episode, Kristin read a bunch of articles, then spat them back out in her very limited vocabulary. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.

In this episode, Kristin pulled from:
“The healthy skeptic: Sensa promises to curb eating,” by Chris Woolston for the Los Angeles Times
“Chicago doctor’s claims fail FTC smell test,” by Julie Deardorff and Karisa King for the Chicago Tribune
“Feds crack down on 4 bogus weight loss aids,” by Matthew Perrone for the Associated Press
“Sensa products feels weight of FTC,” by Ricardo Lopez for the Los Angeles Times
Sensa’s 2011 Infomercial
Sensa Dance Commercial
