In a recent expose by the New York Times, it was revealed that certain supplements, advertised for energy and weight loss contained a synthetic amphetamine stimulant.
This product can lead to heart attacks and high blood pressure, and has addiction potential.
Researchers purchased 21 brands of Acacia rigidula supplements online from January through April 2014 and found over 50% contained this substance, which should be closely controlled.
And the FDA - they knew about this 2 years ago, but failed to do anything about it. Read the article. Can we really trust the FDA or is it being controlled by businesses now?
