  • Problems have been reported with a popular weight loss pill called the Brazilian Diet Pill.
  • You might lose weight on the pills, but you might also lose your job.
  • The way these pills work, is you take one color in the morning and the other color at night.
  • Some people say they lost as much as 20 pounds a month, but some people lost more than that when they failed a drug test.
  • The morning pills were laced with illegal amphetamines and the night capsules had valium and Prozac.
  • "The pressure is on women to look good.
  • They don't realize what they're taking sometime.
  • Dr. Thomas Moore, of the Baptist Health South Florida Hospital.
  • Taking these pills has sent at least two women to the hospital.
  • There are some Brazilian diet pills on the market that don't contain drugs and are all natural.
  • The problem is that there is no way to tell which have drugs and which don't.
