Alarmed by the rise in obesity ,researchers are examining the possibility of injecting a gene directly in to one of the critical feeding and weight control centers of the brain. I think this could ultimately provide a much safer and more effective approach than some conventional therapies because genes active in hypothalamus can result in improved insulin sensitivity ,reduced fat mass and weight loss..What do u think ? would it work???

It sounds good, doesn't it? I think what would work better is if people would stop eating fast food, junk food, processed foods and get off the couch and go OUTSIDE!
