At present, as more and more consumers pursue health and beauty, slimming coffee, which is known as "painless weight loss", has attracted the attention of countless users eager to lose weight. Recently, however, CCTV reported that long-term use of slimming coffee on the Internet may be counterproductive.

According to the report, due to lack of time for exercise and the need to lose weight, a consumer placed an order from an online store to try a box of slimming coffee after seeing the publicity about slimming coffee. In the course of taking it, the person had symptoms such as thirst, nausea and vomiting, palpitations and so on. Frequent discomfort prompted him to go to the hospital for examination, but he was told by the doctor that the slimming coffee taken may contain illegal ingredients.

As a result, consumers who are aware of the seriousness of the problem immediately turn to the local police for help. After receiving the report, the police entrusted the slimming coffee provided by the parties to a third-party professional organization for testing. The results showed that sibutramine, a toxic and harmful ingredient, was added to the coffee product, which was banned by the state in 2010. It is understood that sibutramine is a central inhibitor, which does great harm to the cardio-cerebrovascular system of the human body.

Through the online purchase order provided by the victim, the police noticed the delivery location on the order and found the express delivery distribution point in a residential area in Lanzhou. After comparing the sending and receiving records of the package. The police quickly identified the suspect and seized a large amount of slimming coffee from the two houses he rented.

After testing, the suspect's home hoarded 18 kinds of slimming coffee all contain sibutramine. Along with these poisonous coffee, there are also two plastic sealing machines and a large number of boxes used to package the products. However, according to the suspect's confession, he is only a storekeeper who is usually only responsible for packaging coffee and sending products to the address provided by the online shopkeeper. He does not know the source of the poisoned coffee.

In a comprehensive analysis of the information of a number of online stores provided by the suspect, the police combed out 22 online stores suspected of selling poisoned coffee, but the relevant registration information of these stores falsely used the identity of others. The police immediately adjusted the direction of investigation to order information, the flow of funds from online stores, and finally uncovered a criminal gang that produced and sold toxic and harmful food all over the country.

According to the police, the police arrested 33 suspects involved in the production and sale of toxic and harmful coffee and three major suspects in directing production and remote control transactions, sealed down 22 online shops selling toxic and harmful coffee, destroyed six crime centers for production and sales, sealed down three warehouses for storage and transit, seized more than 130000 bags of unsold coffee, and identified more than 1500 million yuan in funds involved in the case.

In fact, this is not the first time "slimming coffee" has been exposed because of violations of laws and regulations. However, in the course of investigation, the police found that some people who were eager to lose weight issued orders to buy and take risks knowing that coffee might contain sibutramine, which is harmful to their health.

Relevant experts warn that there are no shortcuts to weight loss. In order to achieve the purpose of short-term weight loss, taking toxic and harmful slimming coffee may be counterproductive and bring serious adverse effects to the body. They say that if people with weight problems need drugs to assist them, they should take them scientifically under the advice of their doctors, rather than blindly believing in some miraculous "weight loss artifacts" on the Internet from unknown sources.
