FDA Issues Warning About Diet Pills
December 30th, 2008 Posted in General Health | No Comments »Diet pills may seem like a quick and easy way to shed those unwanted post-holiday pounds, but they can be dangerous. A recent FDA analysis of diet drugs found 28 brands containing undeclared, potentially deadly ingredients.
Complaints about weight loss pills have increased over the last five years with consumers stating that the pills cause heart palpitations, dizziness and shortness of breath. In past two decades, various diet pills have been removed from the market after causing heart problems and death.
There is no safe, quick fix for weight loss. Eating a well balanced diet and getting plenty of exercise are still the best ways to loose weight. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can assist the weight loss process by optimizing the digestive system and balancing the body’s endocrine system, but diet and exercise are still key.

- Fatloss Slimming
