The dangers of the incredibly popular dietary supplement, Hydroxycut, were announced to the public by the United States government on Friday May 1st. According to numerous reports from Hydroxycut users, the pill can cause severe liver damage and even death. Hydroxycut is advertised as containing all natural ingredient, but has been shown to cause mild to severe liver problems.
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), there have been at least 23 reported cases of serious liver damage, ranging in severity from jaundice (a yellowing of the skin due to liver problems) to total liver failure. At least one person has had to undergo a liver transplant because of the damage caused by Hydroxycut, and another victim was placed on a liver transplant waiting list.
