I stopped abruptly in the middle of addressing a small group of ladies who came to meet me for a social chat. A just married girl, who posed some intelligent questions on the wisdom of consuming fat burners by pregnant women, drew my attention.

She actually used the words thermogenics and metabolic enhancers to refer to fat burners. I asked her whether she is familiar with a fact that modern fat burners don’t contain thermogenics or other stimulants like caffeine and ephedra.
