Women & Teens Medical Center, a Miami-area abortion mill, is openly advertising illegal diet products in the Miami New Times, Secular Pro-Life has learned.In a December 6, 2011 advisory, entitled “HCG Diet Products are Illegal,” The Food and Drug Administration had this to say about Human Chorionic Gonadtropin (HCG) products that supposedly help people lose weight:
HCG is a hormone that is produced by the human placenta during pregnancy.
Products that claim to contain HCG are typically marketed in connection with a very low calorie diet, usually one that limits calories to 500 per day. Many of these popular HCG products claim to “reset your metabolism,” change “abnormal eating patterns,” and shave 20-30 pounds in 30-40 days.
“These products are marketed with incredible claims and people think that if they’re losing weight, HCG must be working,” says Elizabeth Miller, acting director of FDA’s Division of Non-Prescription Drugs and Health Fraud. “But the data simply does not support this; any loss is from severe calorie restriction. Not from the HCG.”
HCG is approved by FDA as a prescription drug for the treatment of female infertility, and other medical conditions. It is not approved for weight loss. In fact, the prescription drug label notes there “is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or ‘normal’ distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets.”
Despite the medical consensus that HCG does not help people lose weight, Women & Teens Medical Center is openly offering this pseudo-scientific weight loss treatment in the current (January 26) edition of the Miami New Times.
Women & Teens Medical Center also advertises the “termination pill,” by which they presumably mean the dangerous early-term abortion pill RU-486. According to their
website, they also perform abortions surgically.Wherever the HCG originates, Women & Teens Medical Center is openly breaking the law by selling HCG as a weight loss aid and claiming that it is “the most effective.” This is just one of a long string of cases that show abortion centers putting profit over women’s health.Secular Pro-Life urges you to complain directly to the Food and Drug Administration. E-mail consumer@fda.gov or call 1-888-723-3366. It’s time to show Women & Teens Medical Center that they are
not above the law!

If any body in this world could come up with too horrible sounding to be true, it is a safe bet it would be the “Hood.”
I have another consideration. Back a few years ago most of the weight loss drugs were also coveted by speed freaks. Some of them could even be shot up and were said to be the most potent.
