BEIJING — China is looking into claims of a herbal weight loss patch which its makers said helped former President Clinton's daughter, Chelsea, shed 26.5 lb in under a month, state media reported on Monday.
Customers are instructed to stick the patch to the area of the body where they want to lose weight and then just wait for the fat to flow out of them, the Beijing Morning Post said, citing an investigation by China Central Television.
But in fact the oil seeped from the patch itself, which could be seen when it was put on a warmed up cup or a television set, the report said.
The patch is named after an acupuncture point and translates clumsily into "America Seven-Point Thinness."
Though it claimed to be imported from the United States — where the advertisements said it was a top seller and used by Chelsea Clinton — it was actually made by a company from the nearby industrial city of Tianjin, the newspaper said.
In the few months it was on the market, the commercials helped propel sales to more than $26.32 million, it added.
"The reporter asked related medical experts, and it is currently generally accepted the most effective way to lose weight is to exercise and rationally control what you eat and drink," the newspaper said..."
STOP THE PRESSES....
Now, the chinese have all but given the Clinton's keys to every major city in their country so Chelsea doing business with these scurrilous knaves is nothing earth shattering.
But why then, if this wonder-herb is so effective, hasn't Shrillary imbibed to trim some suet off'a them ankles?
Figures that a Clinton would be a part of some thieving scheme to sell tea-bag drippings to the unwary. Let's just hope for the kids' sake the stuff wasn't as contaminated as everything ELSE from yellow perilville.
