(4) YA Drugs, the Straight Facts series. After introducing the basics of measuring and evaluating weight, seven chapters cover prescription and over-the-counter weight-loss drugs including stimulants, appetite suppressants, and herbal preparations. The message is consistent: weight-loss drugs don't work and they have serious side effects. Occasional personal stories add interest to otherwise dry facts. Sidebars, charts, and stock photos break up the text. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
