Diet pills research

By the start of the twenty-first century, research was underway on at least 20 different diet pills. While some twentieth-century diet pills like Dexedrine were no longer prescribed for weight loss, people attempting to lose weight used methods tried by other generations. 

The study noted that some Australian researchers found a double standard in 1982 and 1996. Both years, it appeared acceptable for girls to take diet pills and other drugs to slim down. That was regarded as a medical condition. On the other hand, boys took stimulant drugs for the intoxicating effect. 

THE FUTURE. While a pill or injection that will prevent cancer has not been discovered, more is known and victory is a reasonable expectation. In the battle against cancer, research continues in a number of important directions among them nutrition and diet... 

Use of an Oral Contraceptive. An estimated 10 to 11 million American women use oral contraceptives. Some have used them for many years prior to discontinuing their use in order to have a child. Researchers have found that these agents change the nutritional needs of some women. The levels of several vitamins and minerals in the blood are known to be, or suspected to be, influenced by the pill. As a result, some oral contraceptive users need increased amounts of certain nutrients in their diets to maintain normal blood levels (a sign of adequate nutrition). Folacin, a B vitamin, is of particular concern since many oral contraceptive users may need a supplement of folacin. In addition, adequate amounts of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), vitamin B-2 (riboflavin), vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B-12, and zinc are needed.
