A new tool in the fight against obesity?

"Orlistat, a lipase inhibitor, for weight maintenance after conventional dieting: a 1-y study," by James O. Hill, Jonathan Hauptman, James W. Anderson, Ken Fujioka, Patrick M. O'Neil, Diane K. Smith, James H. Zavoral, and Louis J. Aronne.

Orlistat, a drug that partially blocks the body's absorption of dietary fat, shows promise as a tool to help successful dieters keep weight off, according to the first long-term study of the drug, appearing in June's American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Two accompanying editorials suggest that orlistat's benefits are modest.
