Sensa Scam

March 22nd, 2010

Sensa has been long used for various purposes in general. It has been used to effectively speaking make people want to lose weight, think it can be easy, and they have based their claims in part on a study conducted by Dr Alan Hirsch on tastants. Essentially, when he put calorie free flavorants in with food, people were likely to eat less than they did with the neutral foods alone. So while the weight loss was not huge, it was significant. Now every time there are studies like this, there are some scams like the Sensa scam that will take advantage of it.

They didn’t get the fine or even basic details of it though. They mixed 2 components that would work, except for the fact that they combined them. On one hand, you have the study conducted by Dr Alan Hirsch, and they used the part where you simply sprinkle the formula over your food and eat. But they didn’t use any tastants.

Instead, they claimed to use clinically proven appetite suppressing ingredients, namely glucomannan, to help you to eat less. Unfortunately however, glucomannan first off requires at least 1000mg to show any results. They don’t have that amount. And when using glucomannan, you have to mix it with 8oz of water at least 30 minutes before a meal to give it time to take effect. Obviously they don’t allow for the timeline and they don’t have the amount needed.

The Sensa scam is an appealing sounding one, and they got the idea from legitimate clinical studies when it came to sprinkling ingredients over your food. However, the Sensa scam undermined every legitimate part of the actual clinical studies they worked around, and the Sensa scam is one of the biggest jokes on the market as of yet.
