Current weight-loss therapies still don't offer a long-term solution. Here's why.
A television ad shows a couple in bed each eating a bowl of ice
cream. When the male leans over and tries to taste her woman's ice
cream, she pulls away and asks him if he has taken his pill. When he
shakes his head, no, she takes away his ice cream, and he slowly climbs
out of bed. No this is not an ad for Viagra. It is an ad for a pill
that blocks fat absorption. The guy was not allowed to eat his high-fat
ice cream unless he first swallowed a pill that prevents fat from being
digested. The scenario did not spell out what happens to the fat.
