Well some clever scientists have created this...
I can stop dieting now because some obesity-busting gum is gonna save me from obesity. The scientists who created it know it will work because according to them:
"We hit on the idea of a chewing gum because obese people like chewing."
The scientists have yet to actually test it on obese people.
It is articles like these which make me want to repeatedly smash my head on something sharp, or better still I could beat these scientists to death with their f**king gum. Who actually funded this research? They must have far too much money and very little sense.
Okay so potentially people could reduce their food intake by 20% - so what? Will that actually lead to weight-loss? And just say someone does manage to lose some weight with this gum - it will not address any problems with food they might have or re-educate them into eating healthily, so the weight could easily go back on. Magically there is another way to reduce the amount of food you eat - it is called a DIET... And there is also this wacky notion of EXERCISE...
There is no quick fix to solving the obesity crisis here in the UK and I personally do not think that the problem is being addressed very well by the government, the NHS or any research groups out there. Everyone seems to be seeking a cure, rather than actually addressing the problem that people eat crap food and don't do enough exercise.
GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
