One of the most well-known components of the weight-loss supplement Hydroxycut is extract of gymnema sylvestre, a plant native to India and other parts of southern Asia which has been used for millenia as a natural medicine to help encourage weight loss and treat diabetes.  However, there is little actual medical evidence to back these claims up.  While it may seem harmless, Hydroxycut has been linked to at least one death and several other health problems.  It is unclear yet what ingredient in particular in Hydroxycut is causing the health problems.

One of the main selling points of the weight-loss suplement Hydroxycut was that it supposedly sped up the body's metabolism, making weight loss easier.  The common misconception is that a slow metabolism makes it easier to gain weight and a fast metabolism makes it easier to lose weight.  However, this is a gross oversimplification of the truth, which is that there are many factors which figure in to determining a person's weight.  In fact, as the body gains weight, metabolism changes to maintain that weight.

One of the easiest ways to actually affect how the body maintains, gains, or loses weight is to change the amount of energy your body expends through activity.  If you exercise more each day, you will begin to see actual weight loss.

• Call 911 immediately.  While people with chronic conditions which induce seizures may not need medical attention, it's always better safe than sorry.
• Keep the person calm and safe.  Have him or her lie down, and keep him or her away from any blunt objects which could cause injury.
• While the common myth is that seizure victims will swallow their tongue and that putting something in their mouth will prevent this, this is actually not true.  They are far more likely to swallow something you put in their mouth than they are to swallow their tongue.
