- Title
Dietary supplements for weight loss: challenges in evaluation.
- Abstract
For the foreseeable future, dietary supplements are likely to remain prevalent ‘players’ in the obesity arena. Pittler et al. operate within the existing framework, review the poor data available, and draw conclusions that seem reasonable given their values. As a field, as editors, reviewers, investigators, authors, research-funders, regulators and citizens, we need to find ways to go beyond the status quo and seek better data on efficacy, better data on risk, and better (indeed any) data on the values that consumers and patients attach to these putative benefits and risks.
