Are Chinese diet pills safe?

Chinese Diet Pills

FDA has issued a warning about certain Chinese diet pills due to possible heart damage. Traditional Chinese medicine can be effective when prescribed by a licensed practitioner, but you should not experiment with over-the-counter medicines. Watch out for diet teas, too. These are often just laxatives.
