Health Risks of Unregulated Honey Packets on Campus

News summary

A concerning trend has emerged on TikTok, where male college students consume 'honey packets' marketed as sexual enhancers, but these products contain hidden pharmaceutical drugs like those in Cialis and Viagra, posing significant health risks. Despite being labeled as containing 'natural ingredients,' investigations have revealed these packets include tadalafil or sildenafil, which can dangerously lower blood pressure, particularly when mixed with alcohol. The FDA has previously issued warnings about these products, such as Royal Honey VIP, due to their potentially harmful undeclared ingredients. These honey supplements are not regulated by the FDA as they are categorized as dietary supplements, allowing them to bypass detailed content review before reaching consumers. Health experts, like Dr. Jesse Mills from UCLA, express concern over the ease of access to these unregulated products, which can be easily purchased at local stores without consumers knowing the full contents. As this trend gains popularity, especially on college campuses, medical professionals urge caution due to the severe health implications reported in various media outlets.
