Acetylsalicylic acid, ie aspirin, is an Uncoupling Agent. In basic terms, its essentially putting your system into overdrive without making any energy, produces heat, thus losing weight.

Chances are the disadvantages outweigh the benefits- people will get more ulcers and screw up their kidneys, or bleed profusely before they see any benefit, although its a step forward in figuring out the body systems.
