Top Selling Fat Burner Hydroxycut Pulled By The FDA

This past Friday the FDA pulled another fat burner from the market to join the list of 72 other weight loss and diet pills pulled earlier in 2009. This time it was Hydroxycut, the most popular and top selling fat burner.

The FDA has pulled it due to 23 serious liver injuries, one resulting in the death of a 19-year old man and another resulting in a liver transplant. Along with liver failure user's also experienced seizures, jaundice, and cardiovascular problems.

Many of you may remember a couple of years ago when Hydroxycut was recalled due to the negative side effects of ephedra and then it was brought back with a supposedly "safe" formula of ingredients. Well now that "safe" formula is causing your liver to fail and you to have seizures. Sounds very safe huh? Currently they are unsure which ingredient(s) are the culprits.

Bottom Line: FAT BURNING PRODUCTS ARE UNSAFE!! On top of that they don't even work and there is research and real-world evidence to back that up.

If you are currently taking any brand of fat burner it is recommended that you stop, as well as stop listening to the advice from the source promoting it and find a more reputable source. You will receive better results through a well designed fitness and nutrition program.

Live Fit,

Josh
