Why do you have to be 18 or older to take diet pills?

Omg you can’t take diet pills if your under 18 OOMMMGGG why didn’t any one tell me that?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Ohhh geee that’s great I’m 14 and I have been takeing them for like a year…dayummm oh well lol

They havent been tested on children. So they have warnings simply because they dont have any idea how it will react in children…

I don’ know the effects but why do you have to take them you should eat more with slow chewing you ll understand that you are full and you ll get used it.

Well from what I heard from some friends that take them, and now TOOK them, the diet pills can cause you to gain more weight back than you lose once you stop taking them. And 18? Because their dangerous and have some serious hazards.

Before the age of 18, all kids and teenagers are still growing inside and out. At a young age, it is very important to have a lot of vitamins and nutrients to keep healthy. Because diet pills can reverse the effects of what vitamins do, companies who make and distribute there products do not want to have to run into problems. If a child/teenager gets sick or dies from a diet pill, the company(s) will get sued and could lose there company and product. But once you are 18, you are responsible for your own actions and what you put in your body. If one who is 18 dies or gets sick from a diet pill, there isn’t a whole lot that person can do except reporting it .
