After 23 people reported side-effects, the FDA has forced a recall, and is recommending that people stop taking, some Hydroxycut products because of reported liver damage. Far be it from me to question the wisdom of the FDA (ahem)...but has anyone considered the fact that most people who use Hydroxycut are body builders, and that a great number of bodybuilders also take illegal steroids, and steroids also cause liver damage?
I think it is far more likely that Hydroxycut is being blamed for liver damage being caused by simultaneous illicit steroid use that nobody wants to fess up to.
Intelligent analysis suggests that we regard this as just more nutritional fear-mongering being served up by a government agency far more invested in the health of the pharmaceutical companies than it is in yours or mine.
