Fat Burning Pill Read All About It

If you have not heard yet, scientists have discovered that the properties of a chemical compound called AICAR mimic the effects of exercise. But, before you get too excited, the tests have only been conducted on mice so far, so they are not sure if the drug will have the same effect when used by humans. It seems the drug produced physiological changes to the muscle structure of the mice given AICAR daily for four weeks.

Whether it will work for humans, in the same way it does for mice, remains to be seen. But, imagine for a minute if scientists really could produce a formula that would allow you to sit on your couch all day long eating cookies, chips, ice cream and cheeseburgers and never have to exercise. You would only have to pop your exer-pill (fictitious name) 3 times a day to melt the fat away. Right now it sounds to good to be true, but who knows it just may come to pass.

There are some conditions for which this drug would be very advantageous. Think of the people who are obese and really can’t function normally due to their weight; this would be the perfect drug to reduce body fat content, allowing them to improve the quality of their lives and function normally again.

Ah yes! The exer-pill, for those of us who really have been meaning to hit the gym, lay off the sweets, reduce our intake of fats and processed foods and eat more fruits and veggies. Simply wait for the pill to hit the market and all our problems will be solved. NOT!!!
