The FDA issued a warning in December that some weight loss products may contain potentially harmful ingredients that are not listed on the product label.
Janet Woodcock, M.D., director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research stated, “These tainted weight loss products pose a great risk to public health because they contain undeclared ingredients and, in some cases, contain prescription drugs in amounts that greatly exceed their maximum recommended dosages. Consumers have no way of knowing that these products contain powerful drugs that could cause serious health consequences.â€
There are however, plenty of diet pills and weight loss products that are safe. Be sure to check the list before purchasing.
