Better Marketing than Results from Weight Loss Pills

Posted Feb 02 2009 11:42pm

“I think (Alli) will probably be around for a long time to come. It’s a smart drug more from a marketing standpoint than from a clinical efficacy standpoint.  This is a multibillion-dollar industry.”

– Donald Hensrud, a weight management specialist at the Mayo Clinic (from here ).

Well, there you have it.  Just because clever marketers make a product or pill look great doesn’t mean it will actually work.

It’s a crazy economic time we live in right now.  I’m curious to see if we will still spend $30+ billon this year on weight loss products and pills.  I think we will because we all want the quick fix.  Sad.
