It's pretty interesting. It talks about a new discovery that a fruit may help you lose weight. 10 lbs in a month?!?!

Here is a little piece of the article:

Despite the recent frenzy surrounding African Mango and its weight-loss benefits, the fruit has actually been used as a diet aid for centuries in Cameroon, Africa—the only place in the world where African Mango is grown.

African mango, or bush mango, differs from other mango fruits ...

For hundreds of years, an extract from the seeds called irvingia gabonensis have been used among Cameroon villagers for its wide-ranging medicinal benefits, which range from reducing and preventing obesity to lowering cholestrol to regulating blood sugar to treating infections. 

While a popular weight-loss treatment in Africa, African Mango only recently became popular in America when on September 13, 2010, Dr. Mehmet Oz, M.D. (Dr. Oz) hailed it as a safe, natural, and effective weight-loss treatment on his nationally syndicated daytime television show.

"Studies have shown supplementation [with African Mango extract] signficiantly reduced bodyweight, total blood cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides," says Dr. Ngondi. "Its use should be further encouraged for the purposes of control of dietary lipids as well as for weight reduction." ...

 

Bates says she began to lose weight almost immediately. "After the first week, I had lost 11 pounds — I thought something was wrong with my scale," says Bates with a laugh. "The pounds were falling off so fast that I actually got excited to step on the scale each morning to see how much more I'd lost."

 

According to Bates, African Mango is the most effective weight-loss product she's ever used. "I've tried other things like Alli, but I didn't really notice a difference. The change I'm seeing with African Mango is shocking. It's like liposuction in a bottle," says Bates with a laugh.

 

Jeffrey Kennedy, a 36-year-old journalist from Columbia, Missouri, says he's experienced similar weight-loss success with African Mango. ...

 

With the recent publicity and fanfare surrounding African Mango, it's no surprise that sites are popping up all over the Internet claiming to offer African Mango at bargain-basement prices.

 

However, according to a recent report published by Consumer Laboratories, Inc., an independent testing organization that reviews health and wellness supplements, a lot of these products, which are often imported from China, have less African Mango than indicated by their labels and have other ingredients and artificial fillers.

 

With dozens, if not hundreds, of African Mango products being sold online, selecting one that's worth your money can be a difficult and confusing endeavor.

According to consumer and Better Business ratings, the 100% Pure African Mango product is considered one of the most effective and trustworthy, with laboratory tests certifying the product's potency and quality.

The website offers a 100% risk-free trial of the product, and the site doesn't try to fool customers into signing up for hidden offers or those controversial "auto-ship" programs.
