Contaminated weight loss products

I have been down with flu the past few days Anyway, as usual, many people said that I don’t look ill at all despite the fact that I was having a fever of 38 degree C. Thank goodness, I recovered fully just in time for the Chinese New Year festive celebration.

Heads up for those who wish to consider the ‘easy way out’ on getting rid of excess fats. Of recent, about 30 or more of the so called fat buster products from China were being black listed by the US FDA for presence of dangerous substances which may cause cancer and other health risks. To make matter worst, most of the dangerous and even ban substances are not listed as part of the ingredients of the products.

One of the key dangerous ingredients is sibutramine and is used in many anti obesity prescription. In high dosage it post serious health risk and were found to be 3 times the maximum recommended dosage in many of these China made products.
Some of the pills also contain certain ingredients to induce laxative effect such as Phenolphthalein. Phenolphthalein is now a ban substance as it has been proven to cause cancer.
