Coffee
drinkers, beware of these 22 brands. It is not about their caffeine content,
says the Food and Drug Monitoring Agency (BPOM), but that they contain
chemicals that can be bad for your health.
The 22
brands are not registered with BPOM but had been sold in the market, according
to BPOM head Kustantinah. The problem is that they contain sildenafil or
tadalafil.
Both
substances are not allowed for use in food or beverage as they can cause
headaches, dizziness, nausea, stomach aches, palpitations, chest pains,
permanent erectile dysfunction and even death.
Sildenafil
and tadalafil are usually found in drugs or supplements for erectile
dysfunction. They can have a lethal effect if consumed by someone with a heart
condition.
“Imagine if
people don't know this fact,” Kustantinah said. “Coffee is a beverage usually
taken in the morning, during the day and at night time.”
BPOM has
withdrawn all these brands from the market to be destroyed. Meanwhile, the
producers as well as marketers have been warned to stop producing and selling
these or face sanctions of a maximum of five years in jail or a fine of Rp 600
million.
