I'm not saying all supplements are bad, just that you want to be very cautious using them accounting for their long-term effects and even the manufacturing process used to make them.
I agree. The supplements tend to be expensive and a substitute for potentially healthier alternatives. However, their greater value for some people may behavioral, and if they help someone adhere to a weight loss program, that's worth their very minor risk.
Also, if scientific claims, anecdotes, and harangues helped people lose weight, no one would be fat.
