Trimming off the truth
Filed in archive CSR by Miche on June 19, 2007

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 effect
- wildly 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.
