CCTV exposed online celebrity weight loss coffee to panic after drinking banned drugs.

　　CCTV News:While enjoying the fun of drinking coffee, you can lose weight. For those who need to lose weight, this is really a good way to lose weight. When you drink it, you enjoy it. What happens after you drink it? Ms. Zhu from Jiangsu bought this kind of coffee that can lose weight, but unexpectedly it led to a case of adding illegal drugs.

　　Ms. Zhu, a consumer in Huai ‘an, Jiangsu Province, recently bought a online celebrity weight loss coffee, but after drinking it for less than three days, she not only failed to lose weight, but also had a problem with it.

　　Consumer Ms. Zhu said, I feel a little nauseous, and my head feels heavy and groggy. I recall that I felt a little uncomfortable after drinking this coffee king.

　　Huai ‘an Food and Drug Inspection Institute tested this cabana L-carnitine coffee king. The results showed that this so-called L-carnitine coffee king not only did not contain L-carnitine at all, but also detected the illegal drug components sibutramine hydrochloride and phenolphthalein. Drug management experts told reporters that the culprit that caused Ms. Zhu’s physical discomfort was precisely these two illegal drugs illegally added to coffee. Such test results made Ms. Zhu feel very scared.

　　Consumer Ms. Zhu said that because I ate it only a few times, I was still very light, and if it was heavy, it would be almost like anorexia.

　　During the interview, the reporter learned that sibutramine hydrochloride was used as an adjuvant treatment for obesity in the early years, but because of its large side effects, it will lead to increased heart rate and blood pressure, and even lead to stroke and death in severe cases. As early as 2010, the relevant administrative departments have issued a notice prohibiting the production, sale and use of sibutramine hydrochloride preparations and raw materials in China, and it is not allowed to add them to food.

　　Another illegal drug contained in the so-called L-carnitine coffee king is phenolphthalein. As a chemical drug, phenolphthalein can directly act on the intestinal wall and increase intestinal peristalsis, and is often used to treat chronic constipation and other diseases. Experts told reporters that because phenolphthalein can cause a series of side effects such as allergic reactions, it can also cause irreversible intestinal nerve damage if taken improperly for a long time, so it should be taken in strict accordance with the doctor’s advice, and generally continuous use should not exceed 3 days.

　　Zhou Tianhong, deputy director of Huai ‘an Food and Drug Inspection Institute, said that phenolphthalein occasionally has allergic reactions when used as a drug, and some female patients will have irregular menstruation after using it. If it is used for a long time, it will be dependent, which means that it will aggravate the constipation symptoms of patients and lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction.
