A rubber pill

Filed in archive Another Diet on June 29, 2007

The pills for dieting never stops coming.
Another pill to make dieting easier has been invented. This time it´s like eating a rubber ball that makes you full.
Professor luigi Ambrosio from Italy's National Research Council through news bbc.co.uk:

The tiny pill is powdery when dry but when swallowed with a glass of water turns to a jelly-like ball in the stomach.

That doesn´t sound very nice to me, but when continuing reading I can see that it is made out of natural organic ingredients that comes out the natural way afterwards.
The pill is still being tested and does not even have a name yet.

While I understand this could mean good news for obese people there is also a danger in people taking the pill and forgetting to eat properly which in turn leads to the body not getting the nutrients needed to function properly.
