Why Designs for Health?
Hi All,
Are you enjoying your fabulous Designs for Health products?!? I have been enthralled with my personal use of DFH products for 10 years now!
Here is an article that I read on-line this morning, which is one of the reasons I use Designs for Health products. ALL ingredients are listed on the labels and they are third party tested prior to each batch being released which is part of the requirements of being USP grade. There are no magic pills to create health. It has to become lifestyle.

US regulators warn about some Web-sold diet pills which they say are dangerous
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - The U.S. government is warning dieters to avoid close to 30 weight-loss products that contain unlisted and possibly dangerous ingredients.
The pills are advertised as "natural" fat busters and have intriguing names like Imelda Perfect Slim and Zhen de Shou. Some suggest they are innovative "herbal" remedies from Asia.
The Food and Drug Administration says the concoctions contain unlisted ingredients. including powerful appetite-suppressing drugs and a suspected carcinogen.
The FDA says the pills pose a risk to the public health because they contain undeclared ingredients and in some cases prescription drugs in amounts that greatly exceed their maximum recommended dosages.
FDA lab testing found 28 dietary supplements that could land unsuspecting users in a hospital emergency room.
Many contain sibutramine, a powerful appetite suppressant that is a chemical cousin of amphetamines. It can cause heart attacks, strokes, heart palpitations and other problems.
Some contain phenolphthalein, a chemical long used as a laxative, but which is now being withdrawn from the market because of cancer risks.
None of the supplements lists the dangerous ingredients on the label.
The FDA is considering criminal charges against some of the companies, because they have not responded to requests for recalls.
The products are:
Fatloss Slimming, 2 Day Diet, 3x Slimming Power. 5x Imelda Perfect Slimming, 3 Day Diet Japan Lingzhi, 24 Hour Diet, 7 Diet Day/Night Formula, 7 day Herbal Slim, * Factor Diet, 999 Fitness Essence, Extrim Plus and GMP.
Also,
Imelda Perfect Slim, Lida DaiDaihua, Miaozi Slim Capsules, Perfect Slim, Perfect Slim 5x, Phyto Shape, ProSlim Plus, Royal Slimming Formula, Slim 3 in 1, Slim Express 360, Slimtech, Somotrin, Superslim, TripleSlim, Zhen de Shou, Venom Hyperdrive 3.0
P.S. In June, all nutraceutical companies will be under FDA control.
