My point with this is that there have been 23 complaints out of many millions of bottles sold. I would think this makes the risk of negative side effects very low. The FDA even stated in their release that the risk of negative side effects with the Hydroxycut products is very rare. Here's a review of the FDA's release w/ a link to the original. http://www.stayfitcentral.com/?p=218 While I feel bad for anyone who became ill after using Hydroxycut and agree that is there's concern a product may be unsafe it should be recalled, the media should be a lot more fair in their reporting and not be so quick to vilify a product instead of giving the entire story. The again, that probably doesn't help them get the ratings the desire.

Acai made my tummy/lower abdomen feel a bit funny like the hydroxicut. I can only lose weight if I really do stuff like determine not to eat much food today. Hydroxicut has been not only all over magazines but I think on tv too, so this is a bit development and I'm looking around, you are one of the first to address this issue. Not all hydroxicut products seemingly are being recalled. They have a green tea supplement that since it was discounted at the store I picked up a bottle but I won't take it even though it is not on the list of Hydroxicut products being recalled.
