Book Review: Dangerous Advice
Summary: 2 Stars
When I first got this book, I was very impressed with the wealth of information that it seemed to offer. I was thrilled when the author recommended a diet pill named Rimonabant. It's an anti-obesity drug that not only helps you lose weight, but quit smoking and possibly cut back on alcohol. I contacted my doctor's office to request a prescription when I found out that the drug was dangerous and had an entire host of side effects. It was banned in Europe and has not been approved by the FDA. Huh?! What kind of recommendation is that? This discovery made me question the entire content of the book. I think that I would be better off sticking with the vitamins that the author did not advocate.
