Seizures and the Brain

Over the past few years more cases have emerged of people experiencing seizures after using Hydroxycut. Seizures are a sudden imbalance of electrical signals in the brain that result in loss of consciousness and involuntary movements. Most people are unaware that they are experiencing a seizure, making this side-effect much more traumatic.

Although some of the direct causes of seizures as a result of long-term use of Hydroxycut are still under investigation, there are proven effects that Hydroxycut-induced seizures have on the brain:

Nerve cell loss or damage in the hippocampus: The hippocampus provides many different functions for the brain, one of which is the processing of memories. Patients with nerve loss or damage to the hippocampus may not remember all the conditions of a past event or may not remember an event at all.

Confusion: With brain cells damaged, confusion is the body’s initial response at filling in cellular information that it no longer retains.

Decreased ability to make decisions: Studies have found this to be a problem sometimes associated with cell loss or damage in the hippocampus.

Attention/learning difficulty: Studies have also found that there is a link between epilepsy and retaining new information.
