The U.S. Department of Justice has announced that it will bring criminal
and civil charges against some of the marketers and creators of certain
dietary supplements. In a statement, the DOJ alleges that the charged
companies sold dietary supplements that either made claims that weren’t
backed by scientific data or contained ingredients that were not listed
on the supplement bottle. Weight loss supplements weren’t previously
popular in the Black community, but are now being used more, especially
among Black women. There are even supplements that are designed to
combat obesity in Black women, which is why it has become increasingly
important to research the ingredients in supplements designed for weight
loss.
