 still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts | WAG Alex Curran is spotted with a box of 'dangerous' Sea Kelp diet pills Add to My Stories Keeping up appearances is high on the list of priorities for football WAGs, so it's unsurprising to see Steven Gerrard's wife Alex Curran carrying a box of Sea Kelp diet pills. However, the 27-year-old could be setting a bad example to young women by purchasing the pills which have been blasted by health experts. Alex was pictured leaving a health shop carrying the pills, after grabbing lunch at a Liverpool bistro. It is thought the tablets can be used to aid weight loss, but experts have warned against using them because of the lack of research into their long-term effects. Warning: Nutrionists have advised against using the tablets Sion Porter, a dietician from the British Dietetic Association, said: 'People mistakenly think that because these are natural tablets they must be harmless, but used in the wrong way they can be very dangerous. -------------------------------------- Seaweed could hold the answer to tackling obesity, according to Newcastle University researchers. The team found alginate - a fibre found in sea kelp - reduces the body's fat uptake by more than 75%. That is better than most anti-obesity treatments. Now the fibre is being added to bread in an effort to develop foods that help lose weight. Clinical trials are now intended to find out how effective it would be in a normal diet. Dr Iain Brownlee, who co-led the Tyneside team, said: "This research suggests that if we can add the natural fibre to products commonly eaten daily, such as bread, biscuits and yoghurts, up to three quarters of the fat contained in that meal could simply pass through the body. 'Real solution' "We have already added the alginate to bread and initial taste tests have been extremely encouraging." The scientists used an "artificial gut" to test the effectiveness of 60 different natural fibres by measuring the extent to which they affected the digestion of fat. The findings have been presented at the American Chemical Society's spring meeting in San Francisco. "There are countless claims about miracle cures for weight loss but only a few cases offer any sound scientific evidence to back up these claims," said Dr Brownlee. "Obesity is an ever-growing problem and many people find it difficult to stick to diet and exercise plans in order to lose weight. "These initial findings suggest alginates could offer a very real solution in the battle against obesity," Alginates are already used in small amounts in food as thickeners and stabilisers. Dr David Haslam, chair of the National Obesity Forum, said: "Some products are sold as medical devices at vast expense which simply don't work. "This looks interesting, but we could only start recommending it if the scientists were able to provide good evidence based on rigorous trials." | ||
