Losing weight to be a cakewalk in future
The Hindu, Wednesday, August 2, 2006 : 1225 Hrs
"Houston, Aug 2 (PTI): The fight against obesity might not be a task in future if the claims of scientists at a Californian Institute of having developed an anti-obesity vaccine proves right.
Scientists at the Scripps Research Institute say they have developed an anti-obesity vaccine that significantly slows weight gain by tackling the ghrelin, a naturally occuring hormone that helps regulate energy balance in the body.
It's not certain that a ghrelin vaccine would be effective against the burger-rich, high-fat diet that many Americans eat, the researchers noted."
It might be very useful for a decent vegetarian and reasonably calorie-controlled diet though, as eaten by many people today.
