Tape worms are very bad seeing as how you generally need to undergo surgery to remove them. Did you know that the largest tapeworm ever pulled out of someone was 15 feet?

This is insane. I wouldn't want something like that living in me

 

Thats just plain disgusting.

Tapeworms can permanetly damage your digestive system, as well as lower your immunity. Sure, it will make you lose weight, but then your body doesn't receive the proper nutrients it needs, so you will end up a scrawny little person, and once you have it removed, your just going to get fat again.

The only way to lose weight is eat healthy foods and exercise! There is no berries or drinks or this or that, nothing will do it for you except exercising and eating healthy

 

Lose weight ? I would lose my appetite

 

While growing up my mom always said i had tapeworms. I could eat and eat and never gain weight, I was 5" 9 at 19 and weighted at 128 pounds until i reached the age of 34. The tape worms must have died then in a matter of six months I gained over sixty pounds.

 

A bit Xtreme you would need to swallow a lot to make a difference to youe weight,you can have the stomach stapled in halve

 

This is unreal why would someone eat a tapeworm to lose weight? I would
prefer to starve myself rather than to eat a tapeworm.

 

OMG that is soo sick. Try a diet! lol

 

That is just not the way to go, people need their heads read if they do this.

 

i think i also have some tapeworms in my body, i have just 50 kg weight my age is 20 years and height is 5 ' 9

 

EOW!!!!! I think they need to see a shrink!!
