FDA Commissioner James L. Goddard told Congress the agency is prepared to ban the manufacture and sale of diet pills that combine thyroid and digitalis, calling them a health danger.

The diet regime, known as the rainbow regimen, mixes colored pills with other drugs, including amphetamines and laxatives, though some components have legitimate medical uses.
