The FDA has recalled 72 Weight Loss Products due to “risky” ingredients.

“Some of the products claim to be ‘natural’ or to contain only ‘herbal’ ingredients, but actually contain potentially harmful ingredients not listed on the product labels or in promotional advertisements,” the FDA said. “These products have not been approved by the FDA, are illegal, and may be potentially harmful to unsuspecting consumers.”

The FDA went on to state that these products contained prescription strength amounts that exceeded the recommended dosage and could cause health risks to consumers. Adverse reactions could range from high blood pressure, seizures, tachycardia, palpitations and increased risk of depression.

The Weight Loss Industry Is Banking On Your Failure!
Each year Americans spend more than $30 billion dollars on weight loss products. The sad truth is most of these products are ineffective at best and at worst, well, serious injury and/ or death can occur.

Yes, there’s a lot of confusion and misconception regarding weight loss in the world today. Big corporations use infomercials and other forms of advertisement to mislead you… give you false hope, and trick you into buying their miracle solutions. They know that you are desperate to try anything to look better and feel better. These big corporations care nothing about you. The only thing they care about is their bottom line (profits). They will do or say anything in order for you to give them your money. Think about it: If what these companies sold really did work, obesity, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes would be a thing of the past. Instead, all of these diseases are on the rise with no end in sight.

Remember, the only way to safely lose weight and keep it off is through proper eating and effective exercise.
Stay away from the pills, powders, and potions.
