I’m always extremely skeptical about this kind of thing, particularly how it affects other health factors (would you be thin and unhealthy?), but the mention about white vs. brown fat is fascinating.

I see this as the Big Pharma trying to team up with Frank’n Food Industry to hatch a plan to keep consumers in an endless eating cycle but not outwardly fat (since consumers are catching on to the real causes of obesity, they’re losing money)…

Too much power and money in the weight loss industry, if that thing actually works some backdoor deal will wipe it out long before it ever hits the shelves.

Then it should say,
Potential Drug : Eat if you can without weight gain.

scientists might have just found a way to let you stuff your face without putting on weight
Instead of wallowing in glutinous addiction, how about we learn how to eat the right things and let our hormones naturally decide when we’ve had enough?

That was my first thought. It’s unlikely this wouldn’t have a downside, but it is interesting about the brown fat.

I agree that’s ideal, but I’m also not going to pretend I wouldn’t be tempted to try IF there were no ill effects.

I agree, I myself was TOFI (Thin Outside, Fat Inside) and I was suffering from horrible dental cavities (1 tooth replaced, 5 crowns, 2 fillings, constant teeth sensitivity that would keep me up at night) and was prediabetic, among other things like suffering from chronic migraines, chronic fatigue and brain fog and constant bloating/flatulence after every meal.
To me, scientist are still focusing on calories when they should be focusing on the quality of the nutrients of the diet. Just because you find a way to reroute the excess calories so they are burned off instead of stored, does not mean you will improve the health of the individual if they continue to eat high amounts of sugars and plant oils.

Oh, goody! Instead of adopting a way of eating that costs me no extra money—nay, even saves me money, both in food and in health care costs—I can take an expensive pill? Where do I sign up?

It’s all about money! lets get people to eat what they want on this drug, ($$) then get sick, and have to take medicine ($$$) and keep going to your Dr. ($$$)

Understood, and believe me I wouldn’t be one of the guinea pigs who used it initially. I’ve seen enough diet pill failures in my life that other people have jumped on.

All good points. Let’s say hypothetically that this was tested/used for years and had caused no additional health problems, aside from whatever happens from the unhealthy food intake (no small aside, I understand), would you use this on holidays or special occasions? That would probably be how I’d be tempted to use it, particularly if it inhibited resultant cravings from high carb indulgences.
