Illegal aphrodisiacs branded 'Clinton' sold in Taoyuan

TAOYUAN, Taiwan -- An old man was caught yesterday for selling illegal aphrodisiacs in a park in Taoyuan. He branded one as “Clinton” with Bill Clintons face on the label, and another one “Gold Kungfu” with Jet Li's face on.

There were 339 boxes of 29 kinds of aphrodisiacs found at a street stall. The aphrodisiacs claimed to be Chinese medicine and safe for heart disease and high blood pressure patients.

After sending to the Department of Health for tests, more than 90 percent of these aphrodisiacs are proved to contain western medicine and anesthetics. Public Health Bureau of Taiyuan County warned that taking these pills can be fatal, especially for people with heart problems. Aphrodisiacs should be prescribed by registered doctors. Taking of aphrodisiacs from unknown sources may cause headaches, hot flushes, illusions, dizziness and tinnitus.
