Hydroxycut Recall

I hope everyone has heard that Hydroxycut has been recalled due to cases of associated severe liver damage among other things. No big surprise to me.

Thankfully, I don't use supps, but it's good that someone is keeping us informed of the problems.

To prove even the healthiest of stuff can be detrimental, hubby found out that green tea interferes with immuno-suppressants that kidney patients take; so, he's ditching all the green tea that we have...fortunately other people pass information on otherwise he'd be no wiser and damaging his kidney health. So, rep+ for informing people of the Hydroxycut problem.

PS: if there's no rep+, it's 'cos the system wouldn't allow me to rep you

Yeah, he has 2 transplanted kidneys. The first one failed, hence the 2nd one. Both of his kidneys failed when he was misdiagnosed as having just 'adolescence' when he was a youngster...the doctor overlooked yellow skin, coldness, etc etc...the second doctor that saw him months later had him in hospital the same night because he was so ill. His transplants were in 1977; June for the first, and September for the second.
