Water pills are diuretics (meaning they induce water reduction by urination) and have always been dangerous: how they work differs for each person, people tend to overuse them (because they're probably trying to lose weight quickly), and water/electrolyte balance is critical to health. Now there's some evidence they're linked to kidney cancer. They are UNSAFE.
