| Description |
"Not for the squeamish, in the early 1900s the tapeworm diet started to be advertised. "Dieters would swallow beef tapeworm cysts, usually in the form of a pill. The theory was that the tapeworms would reach maturity in the intestines and absorb food. This could cause weight loss, along with diarrhea and vomiting." -- Louise Foxcroft, "Calories and Corsets: A History of Dieting Over 2,000 Years," 2011 Snopes. Com: "Is this a real advertisement? Uncertain. "Whether such a method of weight loss was actually ever a common practice remains a subject of debate. Just because an ad for a diet pill proclaimed the product contained tapeworm eggs doesn’t mean it really did before government regulation of food and drug products." |
