Weight Loss

Maintaining a healthy weight is important for a healthy life. Excess weight is a recognized risk factor for many health problems including diabetes, heart disease, arthritis and hypertension. The best way to maintain a healthy weight is to take regular physical exercise and eat foods low in fat. People considered most at risk of developing health problems are those with a high Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI is calculated by taking weight in kilograms, and dividing by (height in meters)?. For people with a BMI of 27 or more, weight loss can be assisted by taking an effective weight loss medicine.

Xenical

Have you ever wondered how an expert becomes an expert?

It's easy. You just tell the world you're an expert. Done!

Even better, set up a web site. Then you can tell the world you're an expert AND you have a web site to prove it.

This is how representatives of the drug giant GlaxoSmithKline have gone about establishing themselves as weight-loss experts. And guess what? Not only are they experts, and not only do they have a web site to prove it, but they've also developed a drug to help you lose weight. That's thoughtful!

Sure, the drug has common side effects you wouldn't wish on an enemy, but that's a small price to pay when you're getting "expert" advice.

Glaxo has asked the FDA for approval to market an over-the-counter (OTC) drug called Alli - pronounced, "al-eye." Alli is simply a low-dose version of a prescription weight-loss drug called Xenical. If the FDA approves Alli, it will have the distinction of being the only weight-loss drug available OTC. So the key selling point will be: Why take your chances with weight loss supplements when you can take an FDA-approved drug that needs no prescription?

Well, I can think of five good reasons:

1-Xenical works by partly blocking absorption of dietary fats (NEWS FLASH: Some dietary fats are essential for good health)

2-According to the Xenical web site, the drug also interferes with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, such as D, E and K and beta carotene

3-According to a Wall Street Journal report, the blocking of fat absorption "results in flatulence and other unpleasant side effects"

4-According to the Xenical web site (FAIR WARNING: If you're eating something, you might want to put it aside for a moment) other unpleasant side effects may include gas with oily discharge, increased number of bowel movements, urgent need for bowel movements, and an inability to control bowel movements (all of which seems to be a polite way to dance around the word "diarrhea")

5-These side effects usually occur during the first weeks of treatment, but in some people may continue for six months or longer (again, according to the Xenical site)
Whew! That's a dozen different kinds of crazy. :shock:

Of course, we don't yet know how completely Alli duplicates these five impressive drawbacks, but since it's a low-dose version of Xenical and works by the same mechanism, we can be pretty sure it's in the same ballpark.

Eat less and Exercise more... Big Grin

Live Young and Prosper...

lol, you hit the nail on the head

I don't trust the drug giants esp. GSK they are simply cash cows (excuse the pun AZCowGirl) supported by the FDC, CDC, WHO and so on
