New Year’s resolution: "This year, I’m going to lose some weight."
FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration) warning: "Beware of products promising miracle weight loss."
The article at FDAs site is stating:
"Most recently, FDA has found a number of products marketed as dietary supplements containing fluoxetine, the active ingredient found in Prozac, a prescription drug marketed for the treatment of depression and other conditions. Another product contained triamterene, a powerful diuretic (sometimes known as “water pills”) that can have serious side-effects and should only be used under the supervision of a health care professional.

Many of these tainted products are imported,
sold online, and heavily promoted on social media sites. Some can also
be found on store shelves.
And if you’re about to take what you
think of as “natural” dietary supplements, such as bee pollen or
Garcinia cambogia, you should be aware that FDA has found some of these
products also contain hidden active ingredients contained in
prescription drugs."
