Here's some interesting research into the chemical mechanisms of human
appetite. The goal, of course, is to learn secrets that might lead to a
biochemical treatment that could turn off hunger (appetite) and
therefore cause people to lose weight without suffering through bouts of
hunger. It's useful research, no doubt, and I applaud the curiosity, but
there's already a solution to weight control that works by turning off
the appetite: hoodia gordonii.
"Hoodia," as it is known, is a
succulent native to South Africa. People who eat hoodia automatically
eat less because their appetites are gently and naturally suppressed. In
fact, one pharmaceutical company (at least) is already taking a hard
look at hoodia as contender for a prescription drug to treat obesity.
To read my full investigation into hoodia, visit the Consumer
Wellness Research Center, which offers a free report on the merits and
sources of hoodia.
