Xenical, approved for adults in 1998 and still the only drug of its type, helps promote weight loss by blocking about 30% of dietary fat from getting absorbed into the bloodstream. The long-term effects of Xenical have not been established.

How come every time they say this concerning a low carb diet they act like this is the most important point but when it is said about some new nasty drug, they act as if it and unimportant sidenote.

Because Xenical prevents nearly one-third of the fat in the food consumed from being absorbed, patients may experience gas with oily discharge, increased bowel movements, an urgent need to have them and an inability to control them, particularly after meals containing more fat than recommended.

Sounds like taking this stuff would be as much fun as eating lots of low carb treats filled with sugar alcohols.
