Not only does the FDA want a piece of the weight loss pie, they want the whole pie all to themselves.

The FDA has brought out an attack against weight loss supplements sold in store ranging from Vitamin Shoppe to GNC. Their claim is that, "A large percentage of these products either contain dangerous undeclared ingredients or they might be outright fraudulent on the ingredients and have no effect at all," said Michael Levy, director of the FDA's division of new drugs and labeling compliance. "We don't think consumers should be using these products."

It is very sweet that Levy and the FDA boys are looking out so much after the consumer. After all the deadly agent that they are on the hunt for is in fact using Papaya. Who knew a papaya could be so deadly and dangerous to the consumer.

What I find to be ironic in the situation is the fast health problems that can be caused by their wonderful Alli. The new pill, now sponsored by Wynonna, has proved to be far more dangerous and shady than that of an innocent papaya. You can read more about that here.

You can look for pills from Slimquick to Starcap to be involved. At the end of the day I am not pro diet pill. I am not anti-diet pill either. I am pro truth.

Most of them are just "energy pills" with caffeine. None of them mean anything in the realm of caloric intake and will attribute to nothing but emptying your pocket if you are taking in to many calories. To bad the FDA isn't working harder to get that out there. No, they want the pocket emptying, but they want it for themselves.
