wtf...


What is in there that could be causing this and is it any of the other supplements that are promoted on this board! I hope the FDA can figure this out soon.

 

[water buffalo]

I just read the article. Hmmmm like you said i wonder what ingredients exactly causes the problems?

 

[rrwwdd1]

HCA is the suspect!

 

[skinsfan]

Hmm, I didn't know the article I linked requried a subscription.

Here's a better link to the msnbc article

FDA announces recall of popular diet pill - Health care- msnbc.com

 

[*Trish*]

Yep HCA. Is it only in hydroxycut, or in others as well? Just one more reason to stay the HE*L away from hyped miracle pills!

reminds me of what happened with lipokinetix years back, except that shit was bad ass. The usnic acid was causing liver problems/liver failure.

What's with all the acid products causing liver damage?

I fucking god. 50000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 hydroxy cuts sold and 3-4 people clam it was that that gave them problems. The product has been around for almost a decade and this is the best they can come up with.

Look at the lemmings lapping up what the media tells them too. How pathetic.

 

[c24k]

sigh this is so sad. A few people out of millions always find a way to fuck it up for everyone else. i mean seriously what the hell is wrong with these people? too many concerned mothers and soccer mommies out there policing america. this is aggravating beyond all reason

 

[needtogetaas]

And I bet you they were going over the recommended amounts too. How much you want to bet they were triple dosing it but swear to god they were only using the reg dose.

 

[c24k]

oh yea def. thats usually the case. They come out about lieing and tell how they were mega dosing but that always comes out after the product is banned and they get millions of dollars cuz they have the FDA on their side for the lawsuit. if i was the judge i'd throw it out of court for being a frivolous lawsuit

 

[RADAR]

And to top it off ,America is trying to live "healthy" Well how healthy do you think a 260 lb women is gonna do adding this to her diet? stress the heart & nervous system, Hell most of the people that take this are so far out of shape it's phatetic!

You know what the funny thing is?
FAT PEOPLE DON'T NEED FAT BURNERS ! Take it from a former fat guy ( used to weigh 364 lbs., just finished first ever bulk and am at 207 lbs. up from 183 lbs. ) , when you have a lot of fat to lose you don't need anything extra to help out other than a good diet and training. Once you are much much smaller and only overweight, not morbidly obese, then a fat burner or other things can help cause the fat left are much harder deposits to eliminate. Plus by the time you use them you will be in considerably better shape , the heart and lungs can handle much more stress and the body is in afar better condition to respond to outside influences.

If the FDA really cared about people, they would ban McDonalds.

That place, guaranteed, killed 10,000's of people annually because of heart disease related to too many Big Macs and fries.

oh yea most def, they have alot of chemical additives that they don't list. There is this chemical corp. in central Jersey that does this fragrance stuff for like artificial flowers and other things but they are also contracted by McDonalds and other fast food corps. to add chemicals to create flavorings. I know for a fact that if you eat too much of their french fries and burgers you will develop diabetes as well as heart diseases. Believe it or not but here in the Mid-South (Memphis, TN area) there is a coalition to bring back trans fat u can find the billboards posted around the tri-state area

Back when I was a teenager, I used to use hydroxycut. If I thought I had a chance to get lucky with a lady, a week or two before I would use 6 hydroxycut caps a day so that I'd look ripped for her. Same thing for beach season and such.

It never really did shit for me. I THOUGHT it worked, but I realized that it was just that I was doing an extra intense workout and my diet was calorie restricted while running hydroxycut. Maybe the caffeine helped, but I doubt it. It was only until I started experimenting with Ephedrine and Clenbuterol that I realized what an overhyped POS hydroxycut really was. Dexter Jackson, Jay Cutler, and half the IFBB pros all use Hydroxycut to get to 4% bodyfat and retain lean muscle. PLEASE give me a break. Unfortunately, I was duped into it. I still got like a bottle or 2 lying around that I sometimes use just when I run out of caffeine tabs lol. Also, for some reason my girl likes the stuff and says it works really well for her.

Thank God it's banned. Now that it's off shelves, maybe the bodybuilding mags will have an extra 20 pages that they can use to actually put useful articles in instead of filling it with Musceltech ad's.

If they were honest, he'd have a needle full of tren and prop sticking in his thigh, with some pills in his hand too.

Interesting article, but I never use any Muscletech shit. I only use fat burners for energy boost pre wkout. All they do is mask the problem. Eat healthy and clean and throw some iron and do short intense cardio wkouts.
