Each year, Americans spend more than $6 billion "guessing" what the right
supplement might be.

They usually rely on ads with pictures of pretty people — not science —
to inform their buying decisions. This is like throwing darts at a
dartboard to determine which products will lead to health.

Pretty stupid.

As a result, many people are using DANGEROUS products without even knowing
it.

Thanks to sloppy FDA standards and supplement formulators, many of the
so-called healthy products on the market are nothing more than
pharmaceutical drugs masquerading as "vitamins" or nutritional
supplements…rife with side effects.

Sports supplements are the worst.

Today many of them contain BMPEA (β-methylphenethylamin) — a chemical
nearly identical to amphetamine. The side effects are ravaging to the human
body. Supplement makers don't disclose this ingredient on their product
labels, but rather, hide it under exotic plant names.

The law has been set up to encourage this so that Big Pharma can profit
from vitamin and sport supplement sales.

So severe are the side effects, the Canadian government issued this public
health alert about BMPEA to consumers: "Amphetamine stimulants can increase
blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature; lead to serious
cardiovascular complications (including stroke) at high doses; suppress
sleep and appetite, and be addictive."

The FDA doesn't care about drugs being in your vitamins…remember, the FDA
works for Big Pharma?

Dr. Pieter A. Cohen of Harvard led a study exposing several supplements
that contain BMPEA. He said "It is not uncommon for companies to spike
weight-loss and exercise supplements with amphetamine-like chemicals, then
hide them on their labels under the names of obscure plants to give the
impression they are natural botanical extracts."

He continued to highlight test results, saying that, "The F.D.A. tested 21
popular supplements that listed acacia rigidula on their labels and found
nine of them tested positive for varying amounts of BMPEA."

Dr. Cohen unsuccessfully tried to get the FDA to reveal which supplements
had BMPEA…but the FDA refused to disclose that info. He performed his
own tests. His findings were published in the journal Drug Testing and
Analysis.
The offending products containing BMPEA are:

JetFuel Superburn (by GAT - German American Technologies)
JetFuel T-300 (by GAT)
MX-LS7 (by iSatori)
Aro Black Series Burn (by Aro Vitacost)
Black Widow (by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals)
Dexaprine XR (by iForce Nutrition)
Fastin-XR (by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals)
Lipodrene Hardcore (by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals)
Lipodrene Xtreme (by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals)
Stimerex-ES (by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals)
Yellow Scorpion (by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals)

The first three in this list were being sold at fucking Vitamin
Shoppe!…until the retailer decided to pull the products from its shelves.
It might as well rename itself the Pharmacy Shoppe.

Another product, Jacked Powder (made by MM Sports AB), was also found to
contain BMPEA. According to a May 2015 Forbes article, "A 53-year-old woman
with no other risk factors suffered a hemorrhagic stroke in January 2014
after using the supplement for the first time before a workout regimen she
had been doing for year."

Another healthy woman suffered a stroke after taking a "pre-workout"
product laced with BMPEA?!?

Did anyone arrest those responsible?!?

That was in 2015. Since then, nothing has happened…the FDA still hasn't
warned people about these dangerous products.

Meanwhile, all the idiots are boasting about their "pre-work" supplements.
Unknowingly, they may be setting themselves up for a stroke, courtesy of
BMPEA.

The supplement companies to AVOID at all costs are GAT (German American
Technologies), iSatori, Aro Vitacost, iForce Nutrition, and Hi-Tech
Pharmaceuticals. These are the companies who made the products with BMPEA
listed above. If they're sloppy enough to make one dangerous product, you
can bet your ass they're probably selling other dangerous products as well.

"The Food and Drug Administration documented two years ago that nine such
supplements contained the same chemical, but never made public the names of
the products or the companies that made them. Neither has it recalled the
products nor issued a health alert to consumers as it has done with other
tainted supplements. The F.D.A. said in a statement that its review of
supplements containing the stimulant "does not identify a specific safety
concern at this time.'"

Translation: The FDA doesn't give a flying fuck if amphetamine-like
ingredients are present in supplements.

The FDA is more concerned about pleasing its lobbyists in the supplement
industry — namely those who pay them to sit back and do nothing.

Public health experts say "the F.D.A.'s reluctance to act in this case is
symptomatic of a broader problem. The agency is not effectively policing
the $33 billion-a-year supplements industry in part because top agency
regulators themselves come from the industry and have conflicts of
interest… In recent years, two of the agency's top officials overseeing
supplements — including one currently on the job — were former leaders
of the largest supplement industry trade and lobbying group."

This is "pharmaceutical fellatio" at its best.

The whole agency is a joke.

Bottom line…you can't count on the FDA to protect consumers from
dangerous health supplements.

So who the hell can you trust when it comes to supplements?!?

Your best form of "health insurance" is to read my book Over-the-Counter
Natural Cures: Expanded! (www.BestCureBook.com) It reveals how to identify
quality supplements, and how to steer clear of "drugs disguised as
vitamins" that pollute your local vitamin stores!

No one is teaching this shit anywhere…not in schools, not in doctor's
offices, and certainly not in vitamin stores.

Bastiaan Venhuis, a scientist who studies tainted supplements at the
National Institute for Public Health and the Environment in the
Netherlands, "said that the physiological effects of BMPEA are most likely
very similar to those of DMAA, an amphetamine-like stimulant that can cause
heart attacks and strokes."

"Supplements containing DMAA were banned from military bases by the
Department of Defense in 2011 after they were implicated in the deaths of
two soldiers. The F.D.A. issued a health alert warning consumers about DMAA
16 months later — long after Australia, Britain, Canada and Sweden had
banned it."

16 months? What, were they too busy scrolling Facebook to do their jobs?!?

Don't trust the FDA to protect your health. Instead read Over-the-Counter
Natural Cures: Expanded (www.BestCureBook.com), so you can know which
supplements are safe and which one deserve a one-way ticket to the trash
bin.

Nobody else can read the book for you!…lift a finger, order the book,
read it, and watch your health get back on track!

P.S. The New York Times reported on a study exposing how the FDA just sits
back and lets supplement makers sell products laced with dangerous
ingredients like BMPEA. Don't become a victim of sloppy FDA standards and
supplement formulators. Read Over-the-Counter Natural Cures: Expanded
(www.BestCureBook.com), and find out how to choose the best supplements. If
you do nothing else to protect your health this year, read this book.
