Beware of Food Supplements

Food Supplements in Hisar Haryana were found to contain Anabolic Steroids.food supplements being sold by several outlets in the city were found to contain anabolic steroids. A chemical analysis of many pre- and post-workout food supplements, done by the state food and drugs department, showed that the manufacturers had laced them with steroids. This fact was not mentioned in the list of contents of the food supplements and they carried Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) mark.

Question is - why is there poor compliance to fssai marks?

Anabolic steroids are synthetic variations of the male sex hormone testosterone. The proper term for these compounds is anabolic-androgenic steroids. Anabolic refers to muscle building, and androgenic refers to increased male sex characteristics. Abuse of anabolic steroids may lead to mental problems, such as paranoid (extreme, unreasonable) jealousy, extreme irritability, delusions—false beliefs or ideas and impaired judgment. The abuse may also lead to serious, even permanent, health problems such as kidney problems or failure, liver damage, enlarged heart, high blood pressure, and changes in blood cholesterol, all of which increase the risk of stroke and heart attack, even in young people. more
