Kylie Jenner<\/a> is being heavily scrutinized for promoting a viral Korean jelly, which has reportedly decreased people\u2019s food cravings and appetites<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old reality star<\/a> shared a TikTok video earlier this month of herself trying Foodology\u2019s Cutting Jelly, a product originally made in Korea that is \u201cdesigned to support weight and body management as part of a balanced lifestyle,\u201d according to the company\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

However, the product has expanded to the U.S., with the Korean brand selling the jelly through online retailers, including on TikTok<\/a>. In the reviews of the jelly, sold by Foodology US, some people claimed that while it is beneficial for digestive issues, it\u2019s also \u201ccurbed [their] appetites\u201d and helped them lose weight.<\/p>\n

In her TikTok video, Jenner held up four packets of the pomegranate-flavored jelly with chia seeds and called them her \u201cnew favorite snack.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a typical jelly. It\u2019s a cutting jelly for digestion, debloating,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy goal is to snack less for the new year,\u201d she continued, before eating some of the jelly in the packet. The clip ended with her showing off the red latex dress that she was wearing to a fitting, before she ate the jelly in a car.<\/p>\n

Multiple people on Reddit<\/a> have criticized Jenner for promoting these jelly supplements, with claims that the jelly has similar effects to taking a laxative.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so irresponsible for celebrities to advertise supplements and laxatives. There are so many impressionable kids\/teens who will take this as gospel, and it may actually cause them serious harm, one wrote<\/p>\n

\u201cHow embarrassing for her,\u201d another added, while a third quipped: \u201cShe’s still snacking, she’s just eating jellified laxatives. Jesus Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n

A fourth took the opportunity to remind people not to be pressured by the health and beauty trends online, including the idea of taking supplements to look a certain way.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuys, it is normal for your belly to be bigger after a meal. It is normal to feel full. It is normal for blood sugar to rise after eating,\u201d they wrote. \u201cIt is normal to have a belly, that\u2019s where your extra reproductive organs reside. THIS IS NORMAL, EXPECTED BODY RESPONSES.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Independent has contacted a representative for Jenner for comment.<\/p>\n

On TikTok, multiple people have praised the effects of the viral jelly, which contains a lot of fiber and extract from Garcinia Cambogia, a tropical fruit that\u2019s advertised as being able to help with weight loss, according to Health Direct<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In one video posted by someone who goes by the name @tiffytummy, she claimed that the Foodology Cutting Jelly \u201cblocks carbs from turning into fat.\u201d She also claimed that she has no more \u201cfood noise\u201d \u2014 the feeling of continuous hunger, according to the Cleveland Clinic<\/a> \u2014 or bloating.<\/p>\n

However, Harvard professor of gastroenterology Chethan Ramprasad told GQ<\/a> previously that the cutting jelly doesn\u2019t necessarily stop carbs from turning into fat.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe short answer is, no, you cannot effectively block carbs,\u201d she said. The idea behind carb-blockers is that certain plant extracts (like white kidney bean or garcinia cambogia) supposedly inhibit enzymes that break down carbohydrates, so you absorb fewer calories. In practice, the effect in humans is very minimal to non-existent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, no\u2014there isn\u2019t a supplement that actually prevents you from digesting carbs in a significant, reliable, or safe way. The \u2018carb-blocking\u2019 claim is more of a marketing hook than a physiologic reality.\u201d<\/p>\n
