摘要

According to the US Food and Drug Administration, Americans spend $18 billion per year on nonprescription dietary supplements, approximately $2 billion of which is on diet products alone. That's larger than the gross domestic product of more than 20 countries. Some would say that American consumers should spend even more: Nearly two-thirds of the US adult population is overweight or obese, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services. "All you have to do is look at the people walking around Disneyland, and you'll see why drug companies are interested in obesity," says Ira Loss, an executive vice president at Washington Analysis, a Wall Street research firm that specializes in healthcare.
