Chromium pollinate is not that effective and can cause the problems you mentioned above in high doses. Take it in the minimum dosage if you require taking it. Scientific facts:1. Chromium has NOT been proven to cause weight loss or lower cholesterol2. Chromium has been shown to damage chromosomes.  When chromosomes are affected, even cancer might be caused, though rarely.
