What is Hydroxycut? Hydroxycut is the brand name of some of America's top selling dietary products. Before the Hydroxycut recall, it was considered one of the most effective weight loss product lines in America.

FDA upozorava na štetnost Hydroxycuta Dijetetski proizvod povezuje se s teškim oštećenjima jetre Američka Uprava za hranu i lijekove (FDA) u petak je upozorila osobe na dijeti i 'body buildere' da prestanu uzimati Hydroxycut, dobro prodavan nadomjestak prehrani, jer ga se povezuje s teškim oštećenjima jetre i najmanje jednim smrtnim slučajem. FDA je objavio da je proizvođač tog prehrambenog nadomjestka pristao povući iz prodaje 14 proizvoda Hydroxycut, koji su se prodavali u prodavaonicama velikih trgovačkih lanaca i ljekarnama diljem SAD-a, a preko interneta i u cijelom svijetu. Hydroxycut je oglašavan kao proizvod od prirodnih sastojaka, a prošle je godine prodano najmanje devet milijuna pakiranja tih proizvoda, navela je FDA. Linda Katz, s FDA-ova odjela za hranu i dijetne nadomjestke, izjavila je da je FDA primila 23 izvješća o problemima s jetrom, uključujući smrt jednog 19-godišnjeg mladića na američkom Jugozapadu. Taj tinejdžer je umro 2007., no FDA-a je o njegovoj smrti obaviješten u ožujku ove godine, prenose TV mreže u SAD. Pacijenti su imali simptome u rasponu od žutice do otkazivanja jetre. Jednom od pacijenata presađena je jetra, a drugi je stavljen na popis za transplantaciju jetre. Pacijenti su inače bili zdravi i simptomi su im počeli s uzimanjem Hydroxycuta, navodi se u izvješćima. Kandska tvrtka Iovate Health Sciences, koja proizvodi dijetne tablete Hydroxycut, pristala je na povlačenje proizvoda iz "velikog obzira" prema korisnicima. Dijetni nadomjestci u SAD-u nisu strogo nadzirani kao lijekovi. Proizvođači ne trebaju odobrenje FDA da su njihovi proizvodi sigurni prije nego što ih puste u prodaju. No, FDA prati izvješća tržišta o uporabi proizvoda, a posljednjih su godina tvrtke pod strogim nadzorom, otkako je FDA saznao za probleme s njihovim proizvodima. (hina/metro-portal)
