FDA Warning to Those Taking OTC Diet Pills

Dieting is a minimally successful method of weight loss, at best, as it necessitates the use of "will power" as it's primary method of weight control.  As such, many people decide using diet pills is a way of circumventing this problem.  However, the FDA has found that many of these pills may be giving the user more than he/she bargained for.  Here are the latest diet pills that have been shown to cause problems:

The products include Slim Max, Diet Master, Super Slim, Body Beauty 5 Days Slimming Coffee, 1 Day Diet, and SlimExtra Herbal Capsules. All of the products are marketed, promoted, and sold for weight loss.
Slim Max, Diet Master, and Super Slim have all been found to contain the undeclared ingredient phenolphthalein. Phenolphthalein was an ingredient in some laxatives, but was reclassified by the FDA as "not generally recognized as safe and effective" in 1999.
Laboratory analysis confirmed that Slim Max, Diet Master, Super Slim, Body Beauty 5 Days Slimming Coffee, 1 Day Diet, and SlimExtra Herbal Capsules all contain the hidden ingredient sibutramine. This controlled substance was removed from the market due to safety concerns in October 2010.
These products pose a potential health threat because sibutramine may significantly increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some people. Sibutramine may also pose a significant risk for those with a history of coronary artery disease, heart failure, abnormal heart rhythms, or stroke, and may interact in dangerous ways with other medications that a consumer may be taking.

It's important for us all to remember that any change a person wishes to make, whether it be in their personal life or physical life, takes time and a considerable amount of work and effort.  There are no "quick fixes" that make any real or lasting differences.
