Meth in Sports Medicine!

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/10/14/tests-of-supplements-craze-and-detonate-find-methamphetamine-like-compound/2968041/

Craze, a pre-workout powder claims to contain only natural ingredients, but that is not so! The US and South Korea are doing tests on it to prove that it secretly contains a chemical that is somewhat like methamphetamine.  "The U.S. researchers also said they found the same methamphetamine-like chemical in another supplement, Detonate, which is sold as an all-natural weight loss pill by another company: Gaspari Nutrition."  Craze has not been sold at Walmart.com since this has all come up, but it is still being sold at different places.  Since the government is shut down, U.S. Food and Drug Administration were not able to be reached for comments. " A month after USA TODAY published its report about Cahill and Craze, a team of South Korean scientists published an article in a journal of the Japanese Association of Forensic Toxicology saying they had found a methamphetamine-like compound in samples of Candy Grape flavor and Berry Lemonade flavor Craze."  The effects on the body are unknown right now, because Craze has never been tested for that specifically.
