食品伙伴网导读:美国FDA于7月30日发出警告,警告消费者切勿饮用一种被称为“奇迹矿物质溶液”的口服液,也被称为“奇迹矿物质补充剂”或者“MMS”。这种按指导服用的产品中含有工业用漂白剂,而这会对健康产生严重的伤害。FDA已收到了若干使用这种产品的消费者健康受损的报告,包括严重的恶心、呕吐、危及生命的脱水和低血压等症状。FDA告诫消费者,须停止服用,并将其扔掉。
据悉,MMS是由分布在网络上各自之间独立的经销商销售的。虽然这些产品都叫MMS,但其标签的外观却各不相同。
MMS声称治疗多种无关的疾病,包括艾滋病毒,肝炎,流感的H1N1病毒,普通感冒,痤疮,癌症和其他疾病。美国食品药物管理局没有发现任何研究可证明MMS的治疗是有效的。MMS也构成严重的健康风险,消费者可能会选择自行使用这个来进行自我治疗,而不是寻求FDA批准的治疗方法和治疗产品。
美国食品药物管理局将继续调查,并可能追究相关的民事或刑事责任,以防止这一潜在的危险产品危害消费者。

FDA Warns Consumers of Serious Harm from Drinking Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS)
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
