Trimming off the truth

Dieting is a multi-billion dollar industry in the United States, and no wonder, with the world's largest obese population. I have a huge gripe with the dieting industry that I won't get into here, but the short of it is – if you ate right to begin with, you wouldn't have this problem!

A healthy lifestyle is exactly that – a lifestyle. But the dieting industry would have you believe you can just take a pill and all your worries will be gone. Pills are bad, pills cause illness, pills create more problems than they cure – do I really have to go on?

Not an ally

GlaxoSmithKline has released a half-dose over the counter version of Xenical called Alli. However, the web site, paid "consultants," and bottle labelling are not up front about the biggest side effectwildly uncontrollable stools. It does tepidly mention it, but the absence of testimonials says it all.

Just yesterday I posted about omission of facts and word choice. Big Pharma is still up to the same old antics.
