美國FDA警告消費者 奇跡礦物質(zhì)（MMS）飲料的嚴(yán)重危害

食品伙伴網(wǎng)導(dǎo)讀：美國FDA于7月30日發(fā)出警告，警告消費者切勿飲用一種被稱為“奇跡礦物質(zhì)溶液”的口服液，也被稱為“奇跡礦物質(zhì)補(bǔ)充劑”或者“MMS”。這種按指導(dǎo)服用的產(chǎn)品中含有工業(yè)用漂白劑，而這會對健康產(chǎn)生嚴(yán)重的傷害。FDA已收到了若干使用這種產(chǎn)品的消費者健康受損的報告，包括嚴(yán)重的惡心、嘔吐、危及生命的脫水和低血壓等癥狀。FDA告誡消費者，須停止服用，并將其扔掉。
   
   據(jù)悉，MMS是由分布在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上各自之間獨立的經(jīng)銷商銷售的。雖然這些產(chǎn)品都叫MMS，但其標(biāo)簽的外觀卻各不相同。

    MMS聲稱治療多種無關(guān)的疾病，包括艾滋病毒，肝炎，流感的H1N1病毒，普通感冒，痤瘡，癌癥和其他疾病。美國食品藥物管理局沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)任何研究可證明MMS的治療是有效的。MMS也構(gòu)成嚴(yán)重的健康風(fēng)險，消費者可能會選擇自行使用這個來進(jìn)行自我治療，而不是尋求FDA批準(zhǔn)的治療方法和治療產(chǎn)品。

    美國食品藥物管理局將繼續(xù)調(diào)查，并可能追究相關(guān)的民事或刑事責(zé)任，以防止這一潛在的危險產(chǎn)品危害消費者。

Product contains industrial strength bleach

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers not to take Miracle Mineral Solution, an oral liquid also known as “Miracle Mineral Supplement” or “MMS.” The product, when used as directed, produces an industrial bleach that can cause serious harm to health.

The FDA has received several reports of health injuries from consumers using this product, including severe nausea, vomiting, and life-threatening low blood pressure from dehydration.

Consumers who have MMS should stop using it immediately and throw it away.

MMS is distributed on Internet sites and online auctions by multiple independent distributors. Although the products share the MMS name, the look of the labeling may vary.

The product instructs consumers to mix the 28 percent sodium chlorite solution with an acid such as citrus juice. This mixture produces chlorine dioxide, a potent bleach used for stripping textiles and industrial water treatment. High oral doses of this bleach, such as those recommended in the labeling, can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and symptoms of severe dehydration.

MMS claims to treat multiple unrelated diseases, including HIV, hepatitis, the H1N1 flu virus, common colds, acne, cancer, and other conditions. The FDA is not aware of any research that MMS is effective in treating any of these conditions. MMS also poses a significant health risk to consumers who may choose to use this product for self-treatment instead of seeking FDA-approved treatments for these conditions.

The FDA continues to investigate and may pursue civil or criminal enforcement actions as appropriate to protect the public from this potentially dangerous product.

The FDA advises consumers who have experienced any negative side effects from MMS to consult a health care professional as soon as possible and to discard the product. Consumers
