The Acknowledged Problems of Products Made for Losing Weight

By Vanessa Summer


There would seem to be a frequent struggle between some sectors of the weight loss industry and regulators including the FDA, Food and Drug Administration and the FTC, Federal Trade Commission. We do not even look for them, and nevertheless we can effortlessly find advertisements that make bold claims about fat loss in the least amount of time. There are extravagant claims made by companies offering pills, patches and other things that burn up the fat almost overnight. One important item worthy of note is many components and products have not been given any kind of stamp of approval for usage. There is no guarantee that the FTC can put a halt to deceptive advertising simply because they're overwhelmed. Very many of the ingredients listed, which are often advertised as being natural and plant based, have not been approved by the FDA.



We tend to feel that it is people who are the unhealthiest and prone to buy these products so they can do something about their excess weight. For example, they see all kinds of ads for slimming down, and perhaps assume they are safe since they are on the shelf. Then you have to consider that so many products are on the market with no assessment behind them. It is not uncommon at all to see products with some herbal substances that may be unsafe for some people who use them. Just one well known instance is ephedra, and that compound was finally banned within the United States. However, ephedra is not alone as a possible problem for a number of people.

Also consider something like Phenylpropanolamine Hydro Choride which is a serious risk to some people, and yet you can Google it and find an advertisement to obtain it. This used to be a very typical ingredient in diet pills and cold remedies about ten years ago. One of the problems with this ingredient is it was sold under different names and all were related to weight loss. Phenylpropanolamine was observed to perhaps cause a whole host of very severe medical problems such as sudden death. However, you can easily buy this specific ingredient on the web; we know because we have seen the ads for it. So just imagine the danger that is posed to people who have no idea about possible hazards with using it.

It is simply extremely hard, we think, for any agency to be totally aware of everything that occurs, and we must watch out for ourselves in the long run. Just think about the process that allows for a hazardous product to remain and be easily purchased so long after the facts are known. Also, another unfortunate circumstance is that very many people turn to these goods maybe because they are too lazy to use the old fashioned method. It is not impossible to lose weight, and it does demand a dedicated attempt. There is no secret about reducing your weight and keeping it off, yet there would seem to be no end to the new products that often seem to be appearing.

There are a lot of things that factor into getting healthy. Not all of them demand fancy gym memberships or limited diets. It is the little things you choose each day that really help you with weight loss and becoming healthy. Make sensible choices every day is a great start. Trying to get in as much physical exercise as possible is another. Remember: being healthy and balanced isn't just about slimming down. You need to help make your body as strong you can make it.
