And he might as well research the weight loss effect of the drug, since
that's the goal after all. Short term use only leads to quick regain, so
weight loss can only be achieved through long term use. Moreover, the weight
loss is often not as high as expected. It's like picking up smoking in order
to lose weight, it's just not really worth it. Would anyone take even a 1%
health risk to only lose a mere few pounds?
