Chocolate, beauty and slimmimg

Slimming industry was having a lot of bad press recently.

First, A 33-year-old housewife in Kedah, Malaysia, Normala Shahidan died at the Alor Star Hospital’s from kidney complications because she had taken the Kintop slimming capsule, which was banned by the Health Ministry in August last year.

The Health Ministry banned the Kintop slimming capsule after it was found to contain Sibutramine, which is classified as a poison.

Norizan Ahmad, 44, who sold the slimming pills and slimming tea to Normala claimed he was unaware of the adverse effects to health or that the product was banned.

Sibutramine, an agent for the treatment of obesity, is a controlled substance, which only doctors can prescribe.

Later, on March 10, 2007, Ipoh Hospital’s consultant nephrologist Dr Teo Sue Mei warned that if you are drinking slimming tea, check whether it contains aristocholic acid on the label as it has been blamed for kidney failure.

My blog has feature that dark chocolate which contains high quantities of antioxidants called flavanoids can prevent heart disease. It is thus a perfect supplement for skincare and health. Clinical trial has been conducted on dark chocolate on heart patient.


I was actively looking for good dark chocolate in the market for beauty and health treatment.
Recently, columnist Boey Ping Ping write an article regarding chocolate on skincare.

A year ago, my email inbox received an unsolicited email spam from a MLM company base in north America. The company slogan...eat chocolate while slimming. Initially, I thought there is a new invented chocolate for slimming purpose. After a more indept research, I found out that actually a person who join the MLM company have to fork out a large amount the buy the chocolate and then they have to joint company's slimming programme at a substantial cost. There is mo relation between the chocolate the the slimming. As I am not familiar with the ingrediant of the the product. I never joint the company nor I feature the company on my blog. It is not sure whether the product comprises sibutramine or aristocholic acid mentioned above. I unable to search the company on the internet now.


Recently, while doing a search on the internet. I accidentally found a company call Life Inspire base in Singapore. The company market a product call Slim Delices, a slimming chocolate from France. The product available at Guardian store in Singapore. I unable to find the product in Guardian store in Malaysia. However, you can find a variety of slimming product including chocolate in Guardian Malaysia. It look like they is still money to be earn on slimming from ladies in Malaysia. The market is competitive.
Slim Delices claim their ingredient call DM-16 comprises only nature extract:
Guarana,Chicory Inulin, Artichoke and Green Tea.


The company also offer clinical trial results on their website. Apparently, this is a not bad product.

However, earlier this year. The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) in London reprimand a company marketing slimming chocolate from Hong Kong call Global DM Licensing. It is not sure whether Global DM Licensing in Hong Kong has any relation with Slim Delices in France or not. Thus, try the product at your own risk.
