The Turkish Pharmacists' Association warned citizens through its social media account. The post stated, "Products marketed with misleading terms such as 'natural' or 'completely herbal' on social media pose serious health risks with the claim of accelerating metabolism."
The Turkish Pharmacists' Association shared information that a 32-year-old citizen was intubated due to cardiac arrest after using 'slimming coffee'.
''THERE IS NO SHORTCUT TO HEALTH''
Products marketed on social media with misleading phrases like "natural" or "completely herbal" pose serious health risks with claims of speeding up metabolism. The latest example: a 32-year-old citizen was intubated due to cardiac arrest after using "slimming coffee." These statements were used.
PRODUCTS PROMOTED AS HERBAL OR IN THE FORM OF TEA-COFFEE ARE NOT HARMLESS
The Turkish Pharmacists' Association stated, ''The "easy solution," "magic formula," and health claims found on the internet are misleading. Vitamin, mineral, and herbal products should be under the supervision of the Ministry of Health. Do not risk your health: Use these products only with the advice of a physician and pharmacist. There is no shortcut to health.''
