New Approach To Fighting Obesity And Diabetes

There is a reason that all we can do is foolproof and not idiot-proof things - idiots are too ingenious.

Here are some idiots.

"World-first equipment, made exclusively for UQ scientists, will determine how to produce food which is better for us, but still tastes good."

Get this technobabble:

"Starch and non-starch polysaccharides, which are important for fibre, have amazingly complex structures which are very hard to characterise.

'For example, the units in a single molecule of a component of starch, are like the branches on a very convoluted tree, and a given food sample is like a huge forest of trees of all different sizes and structures.'

New instrumentation, manufactured in Germany for UQ, will overcome the difficulties of measuring such a complex structure.

'No other equipment can separate 'trees' of all sizes simultaneously, and at the same time measure quantities such as the weight, branching density and number of 'trees' of a given size.'

The equipment recently arrived at UQ and is in the Hartley Teakle Building on the St Lucia campus."

Unplug the machine.

Just eat fewer or burn off more Calories.
