This is the main issue among girls. They were brainwashed that white skin is great and not their brains. These girls only will come to their senses when they really admire their natural beauty.

The tablets may well have contained Sibutramine, which is used to lose weight.

However, it is similar to Amphetamine, chemically.

I have observed some people testing positive for Amphetamine, which was later proved by blood test, to be a false positive.

Lots of junk in products that go under the checked table here. Lab test on the product, get a lawyer and then get a second chance.

It is a deep rooted cultural thing, found in many countries and  cultures - there is nothing new about a preference for light coloured skin, it goes back to long before before the white man "discovered" Africa and Asia, and is often related to status.

Not brainwashed. It is you who has the problem. The product satisfies a consumer demand. My friends use some of the products and I understand their reasons. Some do not want multi coloured skin and seek an evening out of flesh tones. Others do not wish to have mismatched body parts like two tone arms.

I both agree and disagree with you!   

 

Thais and a lot of Aisans are certainly "brainwashed" to think whiter skin is better

Watch any show and see them make fun of someone that is darker 

 

But as my wife got older she gets dark spots pretty easy when she is in the sun

 

I still get yelled at for her dark spots she got on one of our trips to one of the beaches in Thailand  5555
