| Re: Avoid diet pills The LD50 is a standard measure for expressing and comparing the toxicity of chemicals. LC stands for "Lethal Concentration". Individually speaking, LC values usually refer to the concentration of a chemical in air but in environmental studies it can also mean the concentration of a chemical in water. In general, the smaller the LD50 value, the more toxic the chemical is. The opposite is also true: the larger the LD50 value, the lower the toxicity. Toxicologists can use many kinds of animals but most often testing is done with rats and mice. LD50 is the amount of a material,given at one time, which causes the death of 50% of a group of test animals. It is I agree, a good way of measuring the toxicity of a material. And since the FDA approves also uses the LD-50 to regulate drugs (in this case referred to me as something that can kill you) the closest thing I can label this product as is a ‘supplement’ which of course…sounds pretty worthless, since it’s actually a cure for obesity. So while I can’t say “This product is approved or regulated by the FDA” I can say “This product doesn’t kill rats” which I’ll admit…isn’t the sexiest marketing slogan. Maybe I should add a drop of rat poison or something…..
To be called a drug would excite more interest…but I deal the hand I’m dealt. So if there is any obese person (preferably a trusted member here) that wants to try a absolutely free “dietary supplement”  feel free to contact me Miles Simon Weight loss blog |
