First person speech

This article contains a lot of speech in the first person (you, yourself, etc). I have fixed some of those parts, but there is still some work missing. Rbarreira 20:00, 11 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I did not notice any remaining first person speech, so I removed the notice. --Driscoll 20:20, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dietary

The following text is deleted from the article because of tone of the refnotes and because if those belong on wikipedia at all then they belong on pages more specific to the products in question. --Una Smith (talk) 15:20, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fecal incontinence is also a potential side-effect of medicines that prevent the absorption of dietary fats such as Orlistat and can also be caused by eating non-digestible oils or fats such as Olestra. ^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4]

Alcoholism (severe cases)

This may also lead to F. I. (well, it's an open secret). Only thing I do not get is why this article doesn't mention alcohol in any way; of course, you can read "drugs" but most people would not call alcohol a "drug." I agree that it may be included into the "drugs" group; yet for the sake of clarity and readability, alcohol ought to be mentioned separately IMHO. -andy 77.190.52.185 (talk) 00:27, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
