"Safe" supplements with dangerous side effects
Maybe you've heard that side effects from medication now kill over 100,000 Americans every year and harm millions more.
It's unfortunately true. But prescription drugs are only half the story! How about...
- ST. JOHN'S WORT. This mood-boosting herb is now taken by millions of Americans. But those who take it
along with antidepressants like Prozac risk developing serious side effects -- including delirium. Be
careful!
|
- GINKGO BILOBA. There's a bottle in front of me now. The label says "improves mental sharpness." But nowhere
does it say what can happen when you take ginkgo biloba together with aspirin.
Did you know this innocent-sounding
duo has been linked to internal bleeding? And that leads to worse things. |
- FOLIC ACID. It's included in practically every multivitamin. Why don't the labels tell you that it can
interfere with anticancer drugs?
