It's not an energy supplement, it's a fat burning chemical. I can't really see what the fuss is about. If someone starts a trend for drinking bleach as a way of dieting, some other people will willingly do it. Why should the Govt get involved and why should it be banned?

That is the one. I did not realise it is for slimming purposes, thought it was a possible ingredient in energy gels / powder (I only saw the energy gel shots). So not applicable to me, however people using sliming products take notice and check for DNP (see hyperlink to the BBC news).
Thanks
