Bodybuilding News - FDA Advices Dieters To Stop Using Hydroxycut

Monday May 4, 2009
On Friday health officials warned bodybuilders to stop using the diet supplement Hydroxycut, from MuscleTech, as apparently this supplement has been linked to 23 cases of liver damage and at least one death.

While in my opinion more information needs to be gathered in order to determine if this supplement is indeed the cause of such problems, I definitely advise anyone using this product to cease doing so immediately until more information is gathered.

For more information, visit the FDA website.

Great post. I am curious about the Cell Mass. I have started taking cell mass as post workout drink. Not sure if it is worth taking or not. I mean is there any bad side effects on that?

What supporting data is there? 23 people that had liver damage took it? What about liver damage/death from alcohal? Poorly written article.
