Don't be so desperate!




Weight loss is quite a hot topic, nowadays. People will do almost anything, just to lose weight. Please don't let the desire to be thinner cost you your health.

Today, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued seven warning letters regarding unauthorized marketing of certain weight loss products. Part of the problem is a lack of reliable, scientific evidence to support the efficacy of weight loss products.

The pregnancy hormone, hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin), is produced by the human placenta and found in urine of pregnant women. Currently, hCG is FDA-approved as an injection prescription for fertility and certain other medical conditions.

However, hCG is not FDA-approved as an over-the-counter "homeopathic" weight loss product, which is why FDA issued warning letters the manufacturers of such products. If manufacturers do not reply with a corrective plan of action within 15 days, criminal prosecution could be a consequence. Book 'em Danno!

If diet and exercise do not work for you, or maybe you're not sure WHAT to do. Contact your physician for advice. Whatever you do, please make sure the products you use are safe. Otherwise, where does the accountability lie?
