WASHINGTON (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration has approved Arena
Pharmaceutical's anti-obesity pill Belviq, the first new prescription
drug for long-term weight loss to enter the U.S. market in over a

Despite only achieving modest weight loss in clinical
studies, the drug appeared safe enough to win the FDA's endorsement,
amid calls from doctors for new weight-loss treatments.
The agency
cleared the pill Wednesday for adults who are obese or are overweight
with at least one medical complication, such as diabetes or high
cholesterol. The drug should be used in combination with a healthy diet
and exercise.

------------------------------
My take: If you all trust these mega corporations, or the EPA, or Washington, any more that you could drop kick an anvil, then by God go for it! In my view, these pharmaceutical conglomerates are the problem and not the solution. They are a growing cancer whose ultimate goal is parasitical, not beneficial. For God's sake, you sad and confused citizens, please go see your doctor and please ignore these complete and total idiots.
