CHEWING GUM FIGHTING WAR ON OBESITY

Soon staying slim may be as easy as chewing a piece of gum. A new hormonal chewing gum is being developed by British scientists which will help cut the number of deaths from obesity. The gum contains pancreatic polypeptide, a gut hormone which mimics the action of the stomach when it feels full. It is hoped an injectable form of the hormone will be available within 5 years and the chewing gum soon afterwards.
