A pill like this would be every Couch Potatoes dream. Can you imagine all the money a Pharmaceutical Company could make from a pill like this. This could be a way to slash healthcare costs in the long run. The cost of such a pill though would be outrageous though as there would be a huge demand.

lakota that was myconcern, would it rev up your heart too much and lead to heart attacks? i think I will force myself to just plain'
exercise as I know my limits and its good for my heart and my diabetes good thought though but is it safe.

idea? questions, so many questions. I wonder if it wou ld be safe though or would it reeve up our systems and be hard on our heart, maybe just old common exercises might be safer.I will wait and see.some of these pills for weight lose affect your heart.

Huge demand means there are reasons to produce a lot. But of course the patent holder would limit the production at first to make the most money out of this stuff. Would be cool though, I dont feel like doing exercise but yet i am exercising with a simple pill... heh :) It would make us lazy though.

the idea of that pill kind of scares me.. the fact that you can get toned/buff/fit by just taking a pill..the idea is scary.. people will stop going to the gym and it will be such a drastic change in peoples lifestyle.. it's gonna do a lot more bad than good.. and such pills will be abused and abused over and over again.. what would happen with the olympics and in sporting competitions.. so many questions can be raised by creating such a pill but honestly if i were in the R&D department of some big pharmaceutical firm i wouldn't even think twice before trying to produce this pill..it would sell like crazy.. especially with lazy people.
