From 2004 to 2017, NBC ran the show "The Biggest Loser", where contestants competed to lose the most weight. While the show claimed to be trying to help the contestants in the name of their own health and wellness, how helpful and sustainable is a (basically) starvation diet paired with constant berating from trainers? Today we look back at the unhealthy ways contestants lost weight, the questionable conditions the contestants were subjected to, and the long term weight loss success of past contestants.

Is it possible that all of childhood inattentiveness and ADHD diagnoses can be traced back to a simple food dye? Some would have you believe that red food dye, or Red40, may be to blame. We have a feeling the evidence shows otherwise. Today's BS PS is on the Alpine Ice Hack and Tik Tok ice hack challenge. What if all along, all we needed to do to lose weight is eat ice!?
