Some Weight-Loss Supplements Contain Ingredients Similar To Amphetamines.

a study led by Harvard researchers published in the journal Drug Testing and Analysis found that some weight-loss and sports supplements contain ingredients similar to amphetamines rather than the plant extract their labels indicate they include. According to the article, the products in question are “sold under names like JetFuel T-300, Fastin-XR and Black Widow.” The Council for Responsible Nutrition called the products a “very small sliver of the industry,” while stating that the incorrect labeling and chemical inclusion is unacceptable. Steve Mister, president and CEO of CRN said, “The FDA absolutely has the authority and they should be going after products like this.” http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/04/07/weight-loss-supplements-amphetamines-sports/25380525/?utm_source=feedblitz&utm_medium=FeedBlitzRss&utm_campaign=usatoday-newstopstories
