The post of yours that I quoted referred specifically to reducing the amount of fat in the body. Adipose tissue (ie, the material that increases in fat cells) is what makes people overweight.

Figure it out for yourself. In the normal course of bodily function, what happens to glucose? Unless the person taking the raspberry extract engages in a physical activity, the glucose converted by the extract from fat will just go back to being fat.

The idea that conversion of fat to glucose as a result of taking raspberry extract will enable a person to "start 'thinkin thin'" (sic)... is where this whole thing enters the realm of snake oil.
