    I think most drugs have side effects and risks. The article seems to say:

    "However, usage may have been coincidental to a death rather than responsible for it"

    I kind of think people have to make the call themselves, since obesity has risks too:

    "Specifically, we found that BMIs from 40 to 44 were associated with 6.5 years of life lost, but this increased to 8.9 for BMIs from 45 to 49, 9.8 for BMIs from 50 to 54, and 13.7 for BMIs from 55 to 59."
