If you’re considering popping a pill to relieve the extra holiday weight, you might want to think again. The FDA released a message this week warning consumers to stay away from 28 diet pills using “unlisted and dangerous ingredients,” as well as a “possible carcinogen.”
“These tainted weight loss products pose a great risk to public health because they contain undeclared ingredients and in some cases prescription drugs in amounts that greatly exceed their maximum recommended dosages,” said Dr. Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA drug evaluation center.
The primary ingredient in question is sibutramine, a very strong appetite suppressant that is related to amphetamine. This ingredient, which is linked to frightening health problems like heart attacks, stroke, heart palpitations and even increasing your risk for cancer, is not likely to be advertised on the labels of diet pills. The FDA warns that you as a consumer have no way of knowing sibutramine is in one of the following 28 diet pills:
3x Slimming Power
Fatloss Slimming
2 Day Diet
5x Imelda Perfect Slimming
3 Day Diet

This FDA warning is a load of BULL and I take the 3x slimming power pills so I looked up anything I could find on the subject What did I find? I found that the FDA is warning you about a drug that is FDA approved. They are just mad because they are not getting there cut so if you want to freak out about the FDA warning then go and buy ALLI which is the only FDA approved Diet pill advrtised but know this it has the same drug in it that they are warning you about in 3x slimming only 3x works better than Alli (big supise)…..
I have been taking the 2 day diet pills and now the 3x’s slimming. I have had my blood work done twice and have had no ill effects at all. I have lost almost 60 lbs. Everyone I know who takes them lose weight and feel really great.
i have been taking the imelda perfect slim for about a couple of months now and my sister printed me this fda warnging stuff so i had to stop taking it because the fda said it causes cancer and that i should stop taking it.
can you let me know about imelda perfect slim and if i should stop taking the product because it does work for me
I’ve been taking Magic Slim which is similar to 3x and the 2 day diet . I’ve lost 45 lbs and I’ve been on them since the last week in February
