"He found that the drug lowered levels of the dangerous blood fats called triglycerides and small dense LDL, the so-called "bad cholesterol," and C-reactive protein, a dangerous sign of artery inflammation. Rimonabant also improved the metabolic syndrome that signals imminent diabetes and heart disease and raised levels of HDL, which protect the heart."
Sounds like a miracle drug!

One pill a day could keep food and nicotine cravings away (Rimonabant) If things like this keep cropping up....I may be doomed to live forever. I don't think I could stand it.
I'm still trying to get over Rap Music and body piercing.
It's not like I'm suicidal or anything....but maybe I'll just jump out of my first floor window, and sprain my ankle.

THIS was front page news in many newspapers. THIS article was from USAToday -- a totally mainstream newspaper. It reports on findings which were presented at the American College of Cardiology symposium. THIS is not "CHAT", NOT speculation, this is REAL, LEGITIMATE, MAJOR news -- results of clinical studies.
I think I even only put it either in "news" or "extended news".
I think it's totally unfair to have moved this to chat.
I would really appreciate it, if you would move it back to news, "exteded news" is fine.
Thank you.
Here is the google news search results -- you can see it was in news everywhere.

My doc had me try Wellbutrin for this stuff. It worked good for a week or so, but if you think I'm cranky and bellicose now, you should've been around me after a couple of weeks on that crap. Forget it. I'm doing it the old fashioned way.
