The FDA has recently flagged 28 weight loss supplements that claim to be either appetite suppressants or herbal supplements. The recommendation is for the products to be “avoided at all costs and taken off the shelves.”

While most of the products are sold online and at chain retailers, the FDA is issuing a recall due to the fact that the drug manufacturers do not have to disclose the exact ingredients. In fact, some ingredients are fabricated and said to be a diuretic without holding the burden of proof. An example of some ingredients that may not be listed on the bottle includes: Sibutramine, Rimonabant, Phenytoin, and Phenolphthalein. These ingredients are known to cause cancer, seizures, high blood pressure, and even death.

One might question the FDA’s decision because, in most cases weight loss drugs might work for the first week or two, but the effects eventually taper off.

Weight loss is a multi-billion dollar industry in which the end result is never met with a simple pill. Consumers must understand that these supplements are not only a waste of money but can be life threatening.
