NEW 'FEEL FULL' INJECTION

A potential new treatment to help obese patients "feel full" is being hailed a success by researchers.

Scientists say a hormone found in the small intestine has given them a crucial breakthrough in developing drugs to tackle the condition.


The injection of oxyntomodulin works by signalling to the brain that the body is full and has had enough to eat.

Professor Steve Bloom said: "The discovery that oxyntomodulin can be effective in reducing weight could be an important step in tackling the rising levels of obesity in society.

"Not only is it naturally occurring, so has virtually no side effects, it could be ideal for general use as it can be self-administered.

"Despite this, we still need to conduct larger clinical trials to test its effectiveness over longer periods."

Scientists are battling to find medical solutions to the nation's obesity epidemic, with more than half of the UK's adults now overweight or obese.

Obesity increases risks of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and causes problems with bones and joints.

It is estimated the condition costs the UK up to £3.7bn a year in treatment and days lost through sickness.


What do you think about this? Good/bad idea?

what a bunch of bullshit,now they want to sell a drug to make you feel full. why not go on a proper diet,you wont feel hungry.people are too lazy to excercise so they look for excuses and an easy way out.

and by the way,this is hardly a breakthrough,you can buy a bottle of a type of fiber(forgettin the name at the moment) for $5 a month,and everytime you're hungry,you pop one and drink a few cups of water. what happens is the fiber becomes like a sponge and expands in your stomach,which results in you feeling full for a few hours until the fibers passes through your system.

again this is the drug industry trying to rip people off,so fuckin sad.
