'Biggest Loser' Using Drugs, Disease For Weight Loss

'Biggest Loser' Using Drugs, Disease For Weight Loss

HOLLYWOOD (CAP) - As the newest season of The Biggest Loser gets underway, CAP News has obtained startling information about exactly how the show is able to produce such amazing weight loss stories. According to sources close to the NBC hit reality show, past winners have utilized a combination of drugs and/or diseases to obtain their incredible results.

"We were encouraged to have all kinds of unprotected sex at the Biggest Loser ranch, in addition to sharing needles to take intravenous drugs," said one at-home winner who asked not to be identified. "The list of diseases I contracted was as long as my needle-riddled arm, which definitely sucked from a health perspective.

"But from a weight loss perspective, it was awesome!" added the female winner. "I lost 125 pounds, which amounted to 48.83% of my body weight. Between me and you, there is no way I would have lost that much through diet and exercise alone."

Health professionals have questioned the show's astounding results since the first season aired in 2004, concerned over the methods by which such incredible weight loss has been attained in so short a time. U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin released a statement confirming that her department does not "condone the use of AIDS or other communicable diseases as a means of losing weight."

"I guess it seems like common sense to me, but we really do frown upon that," said Benjamin. "I mean, I guess I can think of a few reasons why someone might want to get one of those diseases going in their lives, but weight loss is definitely not one of them."

Other health-related organizations have begun to weigh in on the revelation, with many supporting the Surgeon General's stance. However, the AIDS Action Committee notes this announcement brings a level of media attention to AIDS that the group hasn't enjoyed since the early '90s and "media equals money, so we'll take this."

"It's not fair. I had to win an Olympic gold medal and an NBA All Star MVP for anyone to care about my AIDS," said Magic Johnson. "But this old lady wins some crappy reality show with it and now it's all over the news? This woman is giving all of us AIDS-sters a bad name. Well, that and the fact that we have AIDS.

"If I still had my short-lived late night talk show, I would do a monolouge about this. And believe me, it wouldn't be positive," added Johnson. "It also wouldn't be funny, but it definitely wouldn't be positive."

In related news, Department of Education Undersecretary Brian Wilkins has announced the launch of a new government program aimed at the nation's middle school population that will focus on alternative health education. The new initiative, entitled AIDS, It's Not Just For Weight Loss Anymore, kicks off in 25 major metropolitan areas next month.

A new study finds that teenagers who regularly use a baby pacifier are 95% less likely to become bullies than those who don't. The positive results come on the heels of Michelle Obama's new Binkies For Bullies program that aims to reduce incidents of bullying by turning perpetrators into targets. «» A new study suggests tomatoes may be unhealthy because we've been consuming them incorrectly. "We all grew up thinking tomatoes were a vegetable when they're actually a fruit, yet we continue to serve them like a vegetable," said one researcher. "We're eating them wrong, and it's going to cost us." «» After successfully growing a kidney in a laboratory, scientists at Mass. General Hospital have now also managed to grow a pair, a breakthrough expected to help men overcome their fear of women. "Imagine approaching women of your own volition without alcohol," said one scientist. "You're just one organ transplant away." «» Kanye West has canceled the release of his new album and pulled all existing copies in the wake of the birth of his daughter. "Oh my God, have you heard those lyrics I wrote?" he said. "I'm a dad now. I can't be all rapping about breasts 'n shit anymore." «» President Obama has announced that Hispanics will be the next ethnic group unfairly targeted with racial profiling by federal law enforcement agencies. "We've done a pretty good number on Muslims over the past decade," Obama said. "I think it's time America took on a new challenge and broadened our horizons." «» With the recent flight of its fifth manned space mission, China is poised to become the first nation to successfully launch a fully operational orbiting forced labor camp. Astronauts on board the country's space station module will spend two years testing the effects of weightlessness on human rights abuses. «» New data released from the leaked NSA telephone surveillance tapes reveals that Americans are ordering out for pizza at an alarming rate yet not calling their mothers nearly as much as they should. However, hour-long conversations with fathers explaining how to open a Word document remain at an all-time high. «» The Pentagon is accusing Chinese cyberspies of hacking the Twitter accounts of thousands of teenage girls after a flurry of mean, vindictive tweets surfaced. "We knew no one would ever purposefully post such awful things about their own friends," said one official. "So we figured it had to be China." «» The FBI has intercepted a chain letter sent to President Obama promising money in the mail if he adds his name to the list and sends it to five friends. "We're still investigating the source," said an agent. "But the fourth name is Joe Biden, so we have an idea." «» Amazon has successfully cracked the Chinese market with an app that helps government leaders keep track of forced labor camps via smartphones. "If the way into a man's heart is through his stomach, then the way into China is through their human rights abuses," officials said. "Can you say goldmine?" «»
