What to do?

"The FDA advises consumers to stop using any dietary supplement product labeled as OxyElite Pro while the investigation continues."

Haha! Was chatting to the Biochem HOD and he mentioned this! Possibly some naughty "added extras"? or a toxic legit ingredient combo we dont know about? or some physiological/metabolic shit that we dont yet understand?

Pretty interesting IMO.

Yeah it's pretty alarming.  With any luck it's a contamination scenario so better practices can mitigate the risk.  Irrespective of the cause however, isn't the apparant risk sufficient to halt further sales of the product?  Maybe not going all the way to a product recall as a false positive would be very damaging but the information right now looks scary enough to require action.

 

But she'll be Jake apparantly.

I disagree. If Fonterra can issue a world-wide recall because of a POTENTIAL contamination (there were no reports of anyone falling sick, were there?), I think this link should be an instant recall.
