Host: Are diet pills safe?

Tracee Yablon Brenner: That's a tricky question because, there are some diet pills that are on the market and are approved by the FDA but, I don t really think that's the best way to lose weight, they have some terrible side effects like diarrhea, they can cause your heartbeat to increase, you really are better off not going that way for weight loss and if you do, you need to consult the doctor about that.
