Drug 'tricks body to lose weight'

Media trick public into believing this will come to the rescue.

"French scientists say they have found a drug that tricks the body into burning off fat even when on a high-fat diet.

The University of Louis Pasteur team found the drug protected mice against weight gain and insulin resistance."

What is in the diet makes no significant difference.

As long as fewer Calories are consumed than burned, the weight will come off and if you do that long enough, the weight comes off mostly as fat.

"Professor Stephen Bloom, who has been researching obesity at Imperial College London, said: 'This sounds interesting but is terribly early.'"

As in, way, way, too terribly early.

And as in the complications are coming.

Stay tuned.
