But a paper published today on BMJ.com shows exactly that: Taking federally approved anti-obesity medications, such as Xenical and Acomplia, leads only to modest weight loss - an extra 6 lbs. to 10 lbs.

Wearing an anti-George Bush message on his t-shirt, O’Leary described the bookstore as a “place for people to come and struggle over issues of the day.” Bookshelves, filled with everything from standard Communist manuals to pro-feminist texts, reflect this diversity...
