With an initial investment of less than $15,000, Michael J. Ellis and his partners turned Metabolife into the most successful herbal supplement company in the world. But Metabolife's swift and profitable rise to the top drew the relentless scrutiny of pharmaceutical giants, competitors, Washington politicians, and lobbyists whose own weight-loss products would suffer by comparison. Under intense pressure, the Food and Drug Administration set out to take down Metabolife, yet inexplicably left the very same herbal supplement it called “highly dangerous” on the over-the-counter market.

In "The Metabolife Story: The Rape of Cinderella", author and former CEO Ellis’ chronicles the rise and eventual fall of Metabolife, one of the most unfairly characterized dietary supplement companies in history.
