This discovery has the potential to facilitate the invention of anti-obesity drugs that can stimulate the brain to produce more hemopressin,which in turn will have the effect of encouraging people to eat more from hunger than for pleasure.It can also be used to treat alcohol and drug abuse.And all this,with absolutely no side effects.

KEY TO OVEREATING FOUND
Researchers at Manchester University led by Garron Dodd made a significant discovery recently when they found an appetite suppressant,(hemopressin),which occurs naturally in the body.Hemopressin was found to affect the reward centres of the brain which light up when someone enjoys a comforting snack or a cigarette.It was found to be blocking these areas of the brain,reducing the craving for pleasure foods,which more often than not are great sources of calories and fats.
