Jackie Goldschneider product found to contain stimulant banned in EU – expert warns: “Can cause rapid heartbeat and metabolic disorders!”

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jackie Goldschneider is facing a wave of criticism after the weight loss product she endorsed was officially blacklisted in Europe for containing a dangerous ingredient that is banned in many countries. According to a report from the European Food Safety Authority, the BodyTrim Elite pill that Jackie publicly promoted on Instagram contains synephrine, a powerful stimulant commonly found in cheap fat-burning products but also comes with a series of serious side effects.

Synephrine has been banned in many EU countries due to the risk of causing heart rhythm disturbances, high blood pressure, and strong effects on the cardiovascular nervous system, which is especially dangerous for people with a history of eating disorders or in recovery. It is worth noting that just a few weeks ago, Jackie was still appearing in the media to promote her memoir The Weight of Beautiful, sharing her journey through an eating disorder and urging women to accept their real bodies and not conform to toxic body standards.

Clinical nutritionist Melinda Strauss said this is a typical case of influencers having a serious negative impact on vulnerable communities. It is unacceptable that someone who once represented the body positivity movement would accept money to promote a pill that has not been approved by the FDA.

On social media, a series of harsh comments appeared continuously in less than 48 hours after the news broke. One fan wrote: I used to see Jackie as an icon of healing, now I feel completely betrayed. Meanwhile, another person cited Jackie's post with the hashtag #PaidPartner and said This is charity with conditions, money in is the principle of flying out

A petition asking Jackie to retract the post and publicly apologize has received more than 17,000 signatures in three days. In addition, the main sponsor of a women's health charity event where Jackie was a guest of honor has also confirmed that it will no longer cooperate with her

Bravo has not yet made an official response, but an insider source revealed that some of Jackie's scenes for the new season have been removed due to sensitive content related to controversial sponsorship. There is even information that the production team is considering reducing Jackie's appearance time due to concerns about negatively affecting the overall image of the show

While Jackie has remained silent about the whole controversy, netizens have taken screenshots of a series of old posts about body positivity that she shared and compared them with recent weight loss promotional content. The contradiction between Jackie's words and actions is no longer a matter of doubt but has become the focus of criticism

From an icon of spiritual recovery, Jackie Goldschneider is now being called the face of double-dealing, an influencer who says one thing and does another, and if there is no proper response, this scandal could be the end of the image she has worked so hard to build over many years.
