finally, I can eat the entire bag of chips.

a paper from harvard discussing small molecules that allow the simulation of a caloric restricted diet (which I have vainly tried to implement). actual paper. I don't think this is necessarily a weight loss tool, but rather something that will make your body believe that you are eating less and thereby slow down various metabolic processes (including food uptake). I think. It might just slow down food uptake in the intestine, which was previously done by simply cutting out most of the intestine. eww. anyway, I am procrastinating, not researching so don't blame me. If you know, let the world know.

oh, and it is in red wine, although:

Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes and as a constituent of red wine but apparently not in sufficient amounts to explain the “French paradox” that the incidence of coronary heart disease is relatively low in southern France despite high dietary intake of saturated fats.
