I don’t know if this would be a good thing or not, but I have to admit I’d try it.

Charlie,

You’re right that when food is scarce, our metabolism / energy expenditure drops off.

But along with that effect, the body does have to shift to body-fat stores and muscle mass to make up the difference in available energy.

I am curious to see how this drug does in future tests.

It’s funny how often new drugs come down the pipeline claiming to have discovered some master hormone/enzyme/etc.. that will give us a quick and easy answer to obesity.

I don’t think that they will ever identify a single cause for obesity.

Every bite of food we take involves hundreds of different chemical compounds and hormones and enzymes….

Never mind the effects of stress, pollution, antibiotics and steroids in our meat, pesticides, herbicides, GMOs, lack of physical activity, etc…

I’ll believe it when I see it. Plus, everytime a new drug comes out, there is a list of side effects a mile long.

Thanks, but no thanks………..:)

This trial was done only on mice. So, do you think you should have shown a mouse with the capsule on its painted lips?

Pharmaceuticals have done much good in fighting disease, but I will not be one of the first (more like the last) to prescribe another miracle diet pill with who knows what long-term side effects.

I was interested in the part where you said, "This particular drug, SRT1720, fools the body into thinking food is scarce and it has to burn off fat to survive". My understanding is that when the body thinks that the food scarce, it does its best to store it. Thats why diets become less effective with time as the body thinks food is scarce!
