nancy snyderman, good morning.had all of us scratching our heads that, a, you can even order a tape worm and, b, that someone would take it. we should point out, not only is this illegal to import or sell tape worms in the u.s. and dangerous, it's not a very effective weight loss tool, correct? it's not effective. and the reason the fda has said this is illegal is because this is what happened. you swallow a tape worm and there are hooks on its head and those hooks go into your intestin intestines. tape worms can grow to be 30 feet and break off in pieces and make more. they can get into your brain, get into your eyes and they can kill you. and while they're in your intestines robbing you of nutrients and food that you need, you don't get skinny. you get sort of a swollen belly and you don't look well. so you may lose a few pounds, but the minute you take the medicine to kill the tape worms, guess what? you go right back to who you are. so this is one of the dumbest thing i've ever heard. >> i like the way you sum
