--> Israel’s Ministry of Health warned about the danger of the unapproved weight-loss supplement G-Slim after a young person was hospitalized. As The Jerusalem Post reports , laboratory tests detected sibutramine in the product — a medicinal substance banned in Israel and a number of other countries.
