QUOTE A 'fat controller' in the gut could be the key to preventing obesity, diabetes and heart disease, research suggests. Scientists have pinpointed an enzyme that determines whether the fat we eat is burnt off as energy or stored in the body. The breakthrough raises the prospect of a pill being developed which targets the enzyme in people, allowing them to eat without worrying about putting on weight. ... Even more appealing is the prospect of a pill that makes the body fit, as well as keeping it slim. Last year, US scientists unveiled an experimental drug which fools the muscles into thinking they have worked long and hard, boosting fitness as well as burning off fat. Mice treated with AICAR for four weeks burned more calories and had less fat than untreated mice and when tested on a treadmill, they could run almost 50 per cent longer. Before anyone goes mental and starts eating whole famil pizzas by themselves, though, note the disclaimer: QUOTE But obesity experts say such pills are years from the market, and most people would benefit from eating less and exercising more.

Isn't there something similar to reducing your weight by reducing what you eat ... called stomach banding ...
A macoronni fulfils you, it's almost like having that special chewing gum from willy wonka (minus turning into a blueberry), five course meal. |

We already have a key to preventing obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

On-topic, I'm not convinced these pills are worthwhile. Can you send me a sample? :P This post has been edited by TechHeadFred: Mar 20 2009, 08:02 PM -------------------- <this information may not yet be incorrect as it has not yet been updated>
