Spiked Diet Pills & Supplements - Dangerous and Ineffective

Spiked Diet Pills: No Weight Loss and a Lot of Danger.

Pills, powders, and drinks advertised to promote weight loss or burn fat through some mysterious mechanisms are a sure sign of trouble ahead. They are either potentially dangerous if they have any effect, or more likely totally ineffective.

OTC Diet Pills Don't Work and They Can Harm You.The FDA is investigating 28 over the counter pills claimed to produce weight loss. They found large amounts of prescription drugs mixed with the pills. Consumers have no way of knowing that these products contain powerful drugs that could cause serious health problems. Some of the drugs pointed out by the FDA and other consumer alter groups containing dangerous additives include:x Slimming Power, Perfect Slim, Pro-Slim Plus, and Som o trim. Be suspicious of claims like "no-hunger," "no exercise," "fat burner," or "metabolism booster." There are no proven drugs than burn fat or anything else. There is no way to booster one's metabolism other than by exercising.

Brazilian Diet Pills Contain Amphetamines and Other Drugs: This FDA report follows a serious warning in 2007, concerning Brazilian Diet pills-Magrece Sim and Herbathin. Marketed as "dietary supplements," they contained high doses of amphetamines, and the active ingredients in Librium and Prozac. They may be habit forming, and can cause anxiety, heart palpitations, drowsiness, dizziness and impair the ability to drive. Havard Medical School researchers found Fenproporex, the second most often prescribed amphetamine in some over the counter products. Fenproporex is known to be addictive and is rapidly converted into amphetamine in the body. The internet and other illegal markets have made these drugs even more available.

"Natural" Does NOT Mean Safe:

What is the overweight individual to do when faced with the temptation to take these types of substance? Four things should come to mind:

1. " Natural" and "herbal" are not necessarily safe.

2. "Natural" and "herbal" are not necessarily effective.

3. Any substance marketed as a " dietary supplement" should be suspect. There is little to no FDA regulation of these chemicals. That's why the manufacturers call them supplements rather than medications.

4 Very few people need supplements in the first place.
