    Anyone else watching this?

    It shows how the current obesity crises is not down to people being greedy and eating too much but how the hormones control appetite causing overeating. I would go a step further and say that the quality of the food we eat has a bearing on these hormones.

    I've been reading about leptin a lot lately, fascinating stuff.

    Dunno, trying to find out, it looked like a repeat.

    Excellent show though, They had this guy who had his hypothalmus removed and since the leptin produced by his fat cells couldn't reach it anymore he was always hungry and would eat non-stop.

    We really have only scraped the surface when it comes to the processes regulating appetite. Interesting though..
