I have tried several diet last year and this year and I am definitely going to be looking them up to see if any had these ingredients in them. We all want/need to lose weight but I doubt if we would risk our hoealth to do it with these diet aids that have these ingredents that are considered tainted. These tainted weight loss products are a big risk to our health because they contain ingredients that are undeclared by the FDA and, in some cases, contain prescription drugs in amounts that greatly exceed maximum recommended dosages. Dieters have no way of knowing that these products contain these dangerous drugs that could cause serious problems to their health In December 2008, the FDA warned people not to buy or consume 28 different products marketed for weight loss. In January 2009, the FDA expanded the list of tainted weight loss products to include 41 more tainted products. Here is a list of ingredients in the pills that is not approved. These products have not been approved by the FDA, are illegal, and include the following undeclared active pharmaceutical ingredients: --sibutramine: an appetite suppressant available by prescription only and a controlled substance --fenproporex: a controlled substance not approved for marketing in the United States. Fenproporex,is a controlled substance, can cause arrhythmia and possible sudden death --fluoxetine: an antidepressant available by prescription only --bumetanide: a potent diuretic available by prescription only --furosemide: a potent diuretic available by prescription only --rimonabant: a drug not approved for marketing in the United States --cetilistat: an experimental obesity drug not approved for marketing in the United States --phenytoin: an anti-seizure medication available by prescription only --phenolphthalein: a solution used in chemical experiments and a suspected cancer-causing agent that is not approved for marketing in the United States Here is a link I hope will help and I hope that if you are taking any diet supplements that you won't find any of these ingredients in them.
