CDC Warns: Deadly Toxins Found in Weight Loss Supplements
The FDA and CDC have issued warnings about fraudulent weight loss supplements that claim to be natural but actually contain yellow oleander, a deadly plant species. Two individuals in Maryland and New Jersey were poisoned by these supplements, which were marketed as Nuez de la India and tejocote root. The FDA specifically called out Nut Diet Max and Todorganic Natural Products brands. The lack of FDA oversight allows supplement manufacturers to bypass safety regulations, creating a potentially dangerous market. Consumers are advised to stop using these products and seek medical attention if they have taken them.
