So sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it seems another magic weight loss pill bites the dust. This time the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning us to stop popping a product called StarCaps and formerly known as TimeCaps.

But back to StarCaps. This health hazard was sold by Beverly Hills socialite Nikki Haskell (not sure if she’s related to Eddie or not) and endorsed by her friends. You can’t sneeze in that town without hitting 12 actors desperate to drop pounds for a peachy role. While most of the offending products have been recalled, some websites such as 911healthshop.com and fastdietusa.com continue to sell a variety of the other brands.

StarCaps is promoted as a natural dietary supplement containing a rare blend of papaya and garlic but the FDA discovered bumetanide inside, a powerful diuretic that can cause serious health problems like high blood pressure, seizures, and toxic interactions with your other meds that make it hard for doctors to diagnose problems.

The FDA is planning to issue a long list of ALL the problem brands with hidden drugs in the near future. Stay tuned, Strangely, it appears that most of the supplements were imported from China, land of lead painted child toys and tainted milk. Hey Wal-Mart, thanks for training us to accept seriously inferior and dangerous foreign products into the public consciousness. I’m sure Sam would be proud.

Oh, by the way – WAL-MART SUCKS! And so does Nikki Haskell.
