Could it lead to new treatments for obesity? Overeating Maybe it’s not your stomach that is causing you to eat too much. Maybe it’s your brain. Researchers at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey said the lack of a specific hormone in the brain may cause some people to overeat. Their study was published today in the journal Cell Reports. Overeating The researchers said their findings could change the focus of the causes of obesity and lead to new treatments. But others cautioned that the study only looks at one aspect of overeating and does not take other important factors into consideration. http://www.healthline.com/health-news/overeating-is-it-all-in-your-head-072315#1 At least they are looking into the problems.

Rich fatties would probably pay nicely. Give them a TV hooked up to a stationary bike with a pedal driven generator. If they wanted TV they would have to burn calories to get it. (For the morbidly obese, probably Medicare would pick up the tariff.) First person locked up may be ME. Edited by Trotsky, Aug 6 2015, 01:22 AM.
