The Obama administration has apparently told the FDA that their acronym no longer stands for Forgo Doing Anything. The agency is now warning people to stay away from
Hydroxycut, a widely sold supplement linked to cases of serious liver
damage and at least one death. The Food and Drug Administration
said the company that makes the dietary supplement, Iovate Health Services, has agreed to recall
14 Hydroxycut products, which are advertised as made from natural ingredients. Dr. Linda
Katz of the FDA’s food and nutrition division said the agency has
received 23 reports of liver problems, including the death of a
19-year-old boy living in the Southwest.
The recently awakened federal agency has also slapped a warning on Botox. An FDA press release explains that the agency took the action because of reports that the
effects of the botulinum toxin may spread from the area of injection to
other areas of the body, causing symptoms similar to those of botulism,
including unexpected loss of strength or muscle weakness, hoarseness or
trouble talking, trouble saying words clearly, loss of bladder control,
trouble breathing, trouble swallowing, double vision, blurred vision
and drooping eyelids.

Why the FDA even allows such crap to be sold is beyond me.
I am beginning to really lose all faith and credibility in the FDA. It seems to me that instead of focusing their efforts on protecting the general public they are in-turn being influenced by corporate agenda and special interest. I take everything they say with a grain of salt.
