The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning to consumers not to use Hydroxycut products due to the risk of serious liver damage.  The FDA says that “Consumers who use a Hydroxycut dietary supplement and who experience signs of illness associated with liver disease should immediately consult their health care provider.  Symptoms of serious liver disease include jaundice (yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes) and brown urine.  Non-specific symptoms of liver disease can include nausea, vomiting, light-colored stools, unusual tiredness, weakness, stomach or abdominal pain, itching, and loss of appetite.   FDA has also identified several other serious adverse events associated with Hydroxycut, including cases of seizures, rhabdomyolysis (a type of muscle damage that can lead to other dangerous problems, such as kidney failure), and cardiovascular problems, ranging in severity from irregular heart beat to a heart attack.” [click to continue…]
