Show . .V . n" THE SAN JUAN RECORD Thursday June 18, 1981 - Page ' 11 v Diet aids, improperly used, can be harmful and potentially dangerous - - . Are you feeling that it's time to do something about those extra pounds you added last winter? If you plan to use diet aids there are some potential dangers you should be aware of, warns David Spoerke, managing director of the Intermountain Regional Poison Control Center at of Utah Medical University Center. Spoerke notes that both major types of diet aids can cause problems, although the second classification is more dangerous. Class one aids have "bulk formers (materials that swell in the stomach, causing a full feeling), poorly absorbed sugars and vitamins. In general, these diet aids are not harmful. The sugars may dull the appetite and the vitamins can replace those lost through improper eating. "The only real danger with class one diet aids involves the ingestion of large amounts of vitamin A, says Spoerke. "In a child, 250 to 300 thousand units can cause skin rashes, headaches and vomiting. Class two diet aids are the appetite suppressants containing caffeine, phenylpropanolamine (a stimulant) and some of the ingredients of the class one aids. 'jtCjS .4 Spoerke says these products should be taken for only a short time because they generally are effective for less than a month. "Although less dangerous than prescribed amphetamines, these chemicals can cause unpleasant side effects particularly if abused. Intense headaches, prolonged nausea and vomiting, restlessness and irritability can occur, says Spoerke. Poison specialists caution that persons with high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes should avoid diet aids. "Diet pills also can be dangerous to children because of their attractive packaging and colorful capsuleis, adds Spoerke, "It takes only three or four capsules to poison a child and diet pills all too often are left in a purse or in a kitchen cabinet. If diet aids are potentially dangerous, what should be done to shed those extra pounds? The Poison Control Center recommends an increase in activity-reg- ular exercise is the best route and a decrease in food intake.
