MAYBE A MAGIC PILL FOR WEIGHT LOSS

by Bob Walsh

An outfit called Amgen Inc. has identified and modified a protein that MAY be a true magic bullet for weight loss.

The material, called GDF15, has been tested on mice and monkeys. The mice that got it became uninterested in many foods that had high fat contents and lost 20% of their body weight in 35 days. They also had significantly better insulin and triglyceride levels than did the mice who got placebos.
