Not entirely true... but yes... in general, diet pills are dangerous.
Safe ones are:

Hoodia (pills)
Yerba Mate (usually a tea)
Green Tea (pills, or tea)
Antioxidant pills like Red Lightning, Coffeeberry extract, Grape Seed extract (basically powdered fruits and veggies, you can get them at a nutrition store)

All of these things will make you healthier AND help you lose weight without any side effects.

But NEVER EVER use things like Hydroxycut or TrimSpa if you are worried about health effects.
