Power 1 Walnut, an illegal sex enhancement drug has been found to cause severe brain damage in users after Singapore researchers examined eight men. The drug causes lesions and plaque to accumulate in the brain which short circuits the brain by blocking the blood supply. Of course, deciding to take an illegal drug called Power 1 Walnut could be evidence of existing brain damage.

Illegal sex enhancement pills have killed 10 men here in the past seven months.

The 10, aged between 35 and 84, were comatose when they died from complications such as infections and major organ failure.

A check with the Health Science Authority (HSA) found more than 220 patients who had indulged in illegal sex enhancement pills.
