FDA urges consumers to avoid coffee Empty

WASHINGTON - The Food and Drug Administration on Saturday urged consumers to stop using an instant coffee product that is being marketed as a sexual aphrodisiac, saying it could dangerously lower blood pressure.

In a statement, the FDA said Magic Power Coffee contains a chemical that could interact with some prescription drugs to significantly lower blood pressure. When blood pressure drops suddenly, the brain is deprived of an adequate blood supply, which can lead to dizziness or lightheadedness.

"Because this product is an instant coffee labeled as an 'all natural dietary supplement,' consumers may assume it is harmless and poses no health risk," said Deborah M. Autor, director of FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Office of Compliance. "In fact, Magic Power Coffee can cause serious harm."

The FDA said it was not aware of any adverse incidents so far associated with the product.

Magic Power Coffee is sold on Internet sites by several independent distributors. Consumers and health care professionals should report problems to the FDA's MedWatch program at 800-FDA-1088.

I'm glad I'm not a coffee drinker... but when you can only buy your coffee online you think that might tell you something

Crappin had me worried for a minute. Glad to hear it is one type and not just coffee they wanted to warn us about. Hell, I could quit drinking Shiner before I could coffee.
