Last Week's Hot Topic on Obesity

Last week’s hot topic on obesity was Obesity May Be Tied to Brain-activated Cravings for Food written by Magdalena Kegel.

This article was about researchers at Imperial College, London and their investigation on if hormones normally produced in the gut could reduce cravings for high-fat and high-sugar foods, as well as for alcohol and cigarettes.

“If successful, the study could lead to future drug treatments for addiction”, Dr. Goldstone said in the release. More information on this study, being conducted at Hammersmith Hospital in London, is available through this link.
