Unmasking Black Pepper's Secrets as a Fat Fighter

Bulls**t.

A new study provides a long-sought explanation for the beneficial fat-fighting effects of black pepper. The research, published in ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, pinpoints piperine -- the pungent-tasting substance that gives black pepper its characteristic taste, concluding that piperine also can block the formation of new fat cells.

Stopping the formation of new fat cells, if it really does, means nothing.

The old ones will just get bigger as they accumulate fat.

The question is, if you have 5 bank accounts with $10 in each, are you richer or poorer than if you had 2 bank accounts with $25 in each?

Get the point?

These researchers = morons.

Those subsidizing their research = bigger morons.
