Yes ... think about it ... If the drug prevents the absorption of fat, then it's also going to prevent the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Not just vitamin D, but also A and E ... and the essential fatty acids, omega-3's etc Hardly worth the long-term health risks for the small weight loss benefit. I've read the medical studies about xenical -- the average weight lost is little more 10% over 6 months, and it comes back when you stop taking the drug

I prefer to lose weight slowly and permanently by eating and fully absorbing my food and nutrients, rather than by taking a chemical that blocks not only potential calories but also blocks nutrients that are vital to my health and well-being.
