    My mom told me that when she was send away to a remote school where she lived with other teens they drenched cotton balls in orange juice and ate that to lose weight. That thought still haunts me.

      What’s crazy about that, you could just eat high fiber foods and get the same effect.

      People did that because the cotton wouldn’t be digested and make their stomachs feel full for a long time. Literally the same thing nondigestable fiber does.

      What’s actually crazy is most people today barely eat any fiber.
