‘Skinny Pills’ for obese children criticised as ‘junk science’

DOCTORS yesterday criticised a new “Skinny Pill” for children which claims to help obese American youngsters “win their battle with fat.”

The diet supplement, a mix of minerals, vitamins and herbs, is targeted at overweight six to 12-year-olds.

Creator Edita Kaye claimed it was “a safe solution to the very real risk ... created by juvenile obesity.”
