Det handler iøvrigt heller ikke kun om de få produkter de danske myndigheder advarer mod.
FDA, de amerikanske fødevaremyndigheder, har for nyligt kaldt adskillige produkter tilbage fra markedet. Disse produkter indeholdt enten udeklarerede stoffer (steroider) eller var direkte sundhedsskadelige og havde medført leverskader og et dødsfald.
Hydroxycut: http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/ ... 149575.htmThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration is
warning consumers to immediately stop using Hydroxycut products by Iovate Health Sciences Inc., of Oakville, Ontario and distributed by Iovate Health Sciences USA Inc. of Blasdell, N.Y. Some
Hydroxycut products are associated with a number of serious liver injuries. Iovate has agreed to recall Hydroxycut products from the market.
The FDA has received 23 reports of serious health problems ranging from jaundice and elevated liver enzymes, an indicator of potential liver injury, to liver damage requiring liver transplant. One death due to liver failure has been reported to the FDA. Other health problems reported include seizures; cardiovascular disorders; and rhabdomyolysis, a type of muscle damage that can lead to other serious health problems such as kidney failure.
IDS Sports:http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm190446.htmThe Food And Drug Administration (FDA) has notified IDS Sports that the recalled products contain the following
undeclared substances, which FDA considers to be steroids: “Madol,” “Turinabol,” “Superdrol,” and/or “Androstenedione.”
Acute liver injury is known to be a possible harmful effect of using steroid-containing products. In addition, steroids may cause other serious long-term adverse health consequences in men, women, and children
. These include shrinkage of the testes and male infertility, masculinization of women, breast enlargement in males, short stature in children, a higher predilection to misuse other drugs and alcohol, adverse effects on blood lipid levels, and increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and death.
