Fatal Diet Supplements! Did You Know?

Did you know that the biggest frauds in the weight loss industry are herbal companies that pedal their diet supplements? Yes, and many have proven to be fatal! These companies claim their product will do everything from increasing your metabolism to melting fat while you sleep. There is no "real" scientific evidence to back up these claims and the United States FDA (Federal Drug Administration) strongly urges consumers to beware of these products.
Because diet supplements fall under the dietary supplements category, they don't get the same level of rigorous testing and approval required by most drugs. The best advice I can give ..... Buyer Beware.
Most of herbal products that claim easy weight loss use the herb Ephedrine or Ma Huang which is an amphetamine like substance that effects the central nervous system and speeds up the body. The side effects from these diet supplements are nervousness, increase anxiety, headaches, insomnia, and in some cases, even fatal. The FDA is considering that manufactures of these products put a warning on the label should dosage exceed 8 mg.
A survey was conducted using hundreds of correspondences with people using herbal supplements to lose weight, our conclusion is that these supplements are a waste of time and money. Few people lost appreciable weight, and those who did, soon gained it backed. Many quit using the products only after a few days because of terrible side effects.

If you're considering any weight loss supplements, read the label and keep in mind that 99.9% of these products are a waste of money. If they contain Ephepdrine or Ma hung (the herbal equivalent of "speed"), then you are putting your health at risk.
The best way to lose weight is through a good diet plan.
