This article is a joke, ok? Just want to make sure you don't take me wrong! Gotta keep your trust for my serious articles... :-)

It's amazing that it took medical science this long to put it together.

The Western world has known ever since we first landed inrepparttar 114737 tropics about how effective tape worms can be for losing weight. And we've tried so many diet pills that didn't work.

What took physicians so long to realize that a tape worm diet pill wasrepparttar 114738 best way to harness nature's power to fightrepparttar 114739 unstoppable food cravings she gave us?

Tape Worm Diet Pills in History

Historians tell us thatrepparttar 114740 early explorers who witnessedrepparttar 114741 power ofrepparttar 114742 tape worm diet in 18th century Mexico were so fit and svelte, they simply considered it an uncivilized oddity. In fact,repparttar 114743 famous Portuguese mountaineer and sea explorer, Gustavo DeMenthes (1732-1782?), wrote in his Jornal do Partido, "These unfortunate indians not only cannot read or write, but they spend most ofrepparttar 114744 day trying to convince us to eat their strange bread recipe called 'Oreos'."

Historians are divided onrepparttar 114745 ultimate fate of DeMenthes, though rumor has it (according to his first mate) that he smuggled a large stash of Oreos back to Portugal, and went mad when he ran out. It is a matter of public record that he was once thrown in jail about 6 months after returning to Portugal. The record shows thatrepparttar 114746 original charge of 'Attempting to Steal His Majesty's Frigate' was dropped and changed to 'Public Intoxication'. He soon after disappeared altogether from Portugal.

The Tape Worm Diet Pill in Late 19th Century New York Modern historians think it more than a coincidence thatrepparttar 114747 man who introducedrepparttar 114748 tape worm diet pill torepparttar 114749 United States came from Mexico and was named Henriques Dimintio. He probably was DeMenthes' great great grandson. Dimintio traveled allrepparttar 114750 way to New York City to make a fortune off his 'Oreos'. He met a young, energetic French baker named John Nabis, who lovedrepparttar 114751 cookie and thought it had Great Market Potential.

Then Dimintio explained how Oreos went perfectly with his traditional tape worm diet pill. Nabis wouldn't hear of it- he didn't care if people got fat, he wasn't going to sell worms and food to them atrepparttar 114752 same time! The two new friends had already a lot of Mexican tequila, sorepparttar 114753 argument quickly became a scuffle. Result: 12 crushed oreos, 105 dead tape worms, and 2 estranged business partners.

Nabis stolerepparttar 114754 Oreo idea, and his company, Nabisco, is still going strong. He got his due, though... As you can see in their official 'history', Nabis gets no credit whatsoever for his company, or Demintio's cookie - in fact they will deny that there ever was a John Nabis involved. Call them and see!
