The destructive trends identified by our research need to be
resisted using a mixture of legislation and education. Clearly, advertisements for potentially dangerous products such as slimming pills and the skin-whitening products that have become so popular among young women should be regulated by law. This would force manufacturers either not to advertise or, if they did, to provide any necessary warnings about the composition and side effects of the products. There is surely a need for governments to regard slimming substances as drugs rather than as food supplements — especially if they contain recognized medical or pharmaceutical chemicals — and to ensure that they undergo clinical trials. If it is felt that it is not appropriate to reclassify these substances as drugs if they do not contain pharmaceutical chemicals, then a new classification could be created for them, one that is monitored closely by governments. The term “dietary supplement” (used to classify weight-loss products by the respected Food and Drug Administration of the USA) would surely be a good model for the world to follow.

律的管理。这就会迫使生产者要么不做广告，要么在广告中针对产品的成分和副作用提出必要的警告。各国政府应将减肥产品看作是药品而不是食品补充剂，尤其是有些产品已确认含有医药成分，则更需要进行临床试验。要是有的产品中没有医药成分，认为将它们重新分类为药品不合适，我们也应该将它们归为新的一类，我们的政府还应严密监督这类产品的生产和销售。颇有权威的美国食品和药品局曾将减肥产品归为饮食补充剂一类，这无疑为全世界树立了一个好榜样。 Reading J
Another important step which governments should take as soon
as possible is to raise the health awareness of young people through improved health education. Most primary and secondary school syllabuses worldwide cover a wide range of health related topics such as personal hygiene, eating a balanced diet, common dise
