"The manufacturer, Sanofi-Aventis, is being especially careful to downplay the cosmetic weight-reducing potential of acomplia.

"As of this writing, acomplia is not even approved as a drug yet, and it is already exploding in popularity. People are asking about it at weight loss centers all over the country; they can't wait to get their hands on it. ? Why? Because the drug promises to turn off your appetite and make you shed pounds without effort. In other words, it promises to excuse you from the consequences of overeating, avoiding regular exercise and making poor food choices over the last several decades of your life." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) "I've written an article on the mythology of acomplia that discusses this. Beyond prescription drugs, there's a mythology associated with products like Slim Fast. Slim Fast is a fascinating product because it is extremely successful in terms of sales, yet if you look at the ingredients of the product, it is made primarily with sugar. So, here you have a product that is positioned as a weight loss product, made with an ingredient that nearly all nutritionists would agree actually causes people to gain weight. The mythology of Slim Fast is quite convincing." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

There are dozens of diet programs and probably hundreds of diet books available to help you shed pounds, preferably painlessly." - Joe Graedon, M.S. and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D., Best Choices From the People's Pharmacy (Get the book.) "Whether acomplia lives up to such high expectations remains to be seen. It could take years to assess whether the drug is really safe enough for long-term use. Conclusions Losing excess weight is notoriously difficult, but it can have a profound effect on health. Dropping pounds can help lower blood pressure and get cholesterol under control, as well as alleviating the strain on arthritic joints.
