I'm trying to convince a co-worker to stop taking it b/c it causes serious problems even death but she says that she will keep taking it to lose weight. Anybody know more about it or has tried it and has had a bad experience w/ it?
Has anyone heard of almendra quema grasa also known as yellow oleander, or lucky nut?
Yellow oleander is a well-known poison, and it has been well-known for centuries. Almendra quema grasa is apparently the Spanish name for it.
I dug up some links for you. They are of varying quality, science-wise.
I bet that showing these to your friend doesn't dissuade her, because the people that sell people poisons to eat tend to be very convincing. But there is one thing that might convince her. This is not recommended by quacks to lose weight. It is recommended to GAIN weight. See the third link in the list under "unproven uses."
And good luck.
