The basic idea is that they have not been proven to work in humans. The doses to get them to work in rats where huge. The got their big break when they were promoted by a TV doctor in the US who has a history of giving advice that is not based on evidence.
Save your money and don't bother with raspberry ketones. Reducing your carbohydrate intake has been proven to improve your health. That's the magic pill.
