According to media reports, the Hunan Loudi Police and the Food and Drug Administration jointly investigated this case, which involved hundreds of millions of dollars in the production and sale of toxic and hazardous foods at the end of August after several months of investigation. Victims are "affected" in all provinces and cities. Red Star News conducted a sampling and tracking of the end consumer market of this batch of weight loss products and found that many female dieters were still unaware of the news that the weight loss products they had eaten had been classified as toxic and harmful foods. In fact, these weight loss products have entered the market in the form of health foods with weight loss effects. The biggest hazard of this batch of products is the addition of a toxic and harmful banned chemical - sibutramine.

Sibutramine is a central nervous system depressant that suppresses appetite. It was approved by the FDA as a weight-loss drug in November 1997. On October 8, 2010, the U.S. FDA issued an announcement: Because sibutramine can cause cardiovascular disease risks, the FDA requires drug manufacturers to automatically withdraw it from the U.S. market.

Sibutramine, used as a prescription drug for weight loss, has caused severe cardiovascular side effects and even death. Therefore, seven years ago, the State Food and Drug Administration banned the domestic production and sale of all preparations containing sibutramine, including the production of sibutramine raw materials, and it is not allowed to add this ingredient to food and health products. to lose weight. As a drug, sibutramine will produce these side effects under normal usage and dosage, not to mention the use of food illegally added with sibutramine that has no guaranteed dose. The degree of abuse and harm are obvious. However, many women who love beauty do not know much about the chemical composition of sibutramine and do not consider its safety at all as long as they can lose weight.
