We obtain a non-integrability result on Hamiltonian Systems with a homogeneous potential with an arbitrary number of degrees of freedom which generalizes a Yoshida's Theorem Except for the cases when the degree of homogeneity of the potential is equal to two or minus two, only a discrete set of families of these type of potentials are compatible with the complete integrability condition. We illustrate this result with two examples: the collinear problem of three bodies and a highly symmetrical family introduced by Umeno ([6]).
