THERE IS NO WARNING FOR PEOPLE WITH MEDICAL CONDITIONS: If a weight loss product or plan yields no warning for people with problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disorders and such, the product or plan should be looked at very suspect.

If there are no warnings, then you can rest assured that your health and well being are not an issue that is important to the company that is selling their products to you.
