Wednesday, 8 April 2015, NEW YORK, NY - The amphetamine isomer BMPEA nearly identical to amphetamines and first synthesized in the early 1930's as an amphetamine alternative which allegedly mimics amphetamine effects and poses some of the same dangers yesterday was identified in several dietary supplements currently for sale in U.S. vitamin and nutrition stores labelled under the plant name Acacia Rigidula in a study led by Dr. Peter A. Cohen an assistant Harvard professor published yesterday in the journal Drug Testing And Analysis.
The New York Times Well Blog by Anahad O'Connor (not identified as a physician) dated late yesterday with a version published in today's New York Edition of the paper at page A1 under the headline "Study Warns of Diet Supplements Kept Quiet By F.D.A." identifies some of the supplements including photographs of products apparently still on U.S. store shelves including the amounts of BMPEA each contains for consumers concerned that the reportedly industry dominated United States Food and Drug Administration (F.D.A.) is allowing dangerous supplements still to be sold on U.S. store shelves (as well as presumably on the internet).
Canadian health authorities in December 2014 pulled the BMPEA-containing supplement "JetFuel Superburn" from store shelves calling the chemical BMPEA a "serious health risk" although the below-linked article identifies the supplement apparently still for sale as late as yesterday as well as JetFuel T300 and MX-LS7 identified in the above study at the article's singled-out Vitamin Shoppe (presumably because the article's author did not have time to visit all vitamin and supplement stores to check if they also sold it). The study in addition listed Aro Series Burn, Black Widow, Dexaprine XR, Fastin-XR, Lipodrene Hardcore, Lipodrene Xtreme, Stimerex-ES and Yellow Scorpion as containing BMPEA. All are pictured in the below-linked article with the number of grams per serving shown under each.
BMPEA reportedly is closely related in physiological characteristics to DMAA described as an "amphetamine-like stimulant that can cause heart attacks and strokes", as presumably can any amphetamine or amphetamine isomer. DMAA was banned by the U.S. Department of Defense from military bases in 2011, and the FDA issued a health warning about the chemical DMAA sixteen months after Australia, Britain, Canada and Sweden banned it.
Interested readers may find at the below link significantly more information on the above as well as an examination of an F.D.A. history of allegedly industry-dominated decisions made by F.D.A. officials apparently in the industry-government "revolving door" criticized as dominating many federal agency decisions. Readers wishing to go directly to the Drug Testing And Analysis study published yesterday can go to the second link below which link also is contained in the text of the first link directly below.
