But seven years ago, Siskind&#8217;s downfall looked doubtful. People were spending hundreds of dollars apiece on his fruit drinks, Siskind was a respected figure in San Antonio&#8217;s business community, and he was raking in tens of millions of dollars.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/johntedesco.net\/blog\/2009\/11\/22\/remember-body-solutions-its-back\/\" target=\"_blank\">Remember Body Solutions? It\u2019s back, but under new ownership<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then, in August 2001, San Antonio Express-News Reporters Travis Poling and Nicole Foy wrote two front-page stories detailing Siskind&#8217;s background as a tabloid journalist, and revealing how clinical studies never proved Body Solutions&#8217; products actually burned fat.<\/p>\n<p>Foy wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nIt sounds so simple: Lose weight while you sleep, burn body fat &#8211; all while eating whatever you want.<\/p>\n<p>All this from just one tablespoon of a fruity concoction taken every night on an empty stomach before going to bed. Minimal effort, great results &#8211; that&#8217;s the message behind Body Solutions&#8217; wildly popular Evening Weight Loss Formula.<\/p>\n<p>Is this the long-awaited answer to America&#8217;s battle with the bulge?<\/p>\n<p>Not so fast, say leading scientists and nutritional experts. The Body Solutions program has more to do with big bucks and bold claims than it does substantiated science, say experts who reviewed the weight loss system.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The only way you can tell if this works is by published, independent, objective, double-blinded scientific studies. And that hasn&#8217;t been done in this case,&#8221; said Sanford Miller, a former director of the Food and Drug Administration&#8217;s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>These front-page stories provoked outrage by the disc jockeys who were paid to give personal testimonials about the effectiveness of Body Solutions&#8217; products.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/johntedesco.net\/blog\/2017\/01\/01\/newspapers-are-lame-say-people-who-dont-read-newspapers\/\" target=\"_blank\">If you think newspapers are lame, here are big stories in San Antonio you missed in 2016<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But the purpose of watchdog <a href=\"https:\/\/johntedesco.net\/blog\/tag\/journalism\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"journalism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">journalism<\/a> is to tell people what&#8217;s really going on.
