Fat mice, eating machines, and biochemical treason: Will we ever create a dial-a-weight pill?

Article Abstract:

The science fiction story based on the nutrition researchers who are making an effort to discover a 'dial-a-weight' pill that could program one's body to move naturally to any weight required, at least within a wide range, by taking just the right dose combination of medications. Weight creep results from biochemical treason, when something defeats the feedback mechanisms and causes the body's preferred weigh to inch upward, and hence two ways of overcoming this are presented.

Researchers claim that there are hotspots on the surface of the Earth, which produce a thermal plume that rises through Earth's mantle until it eventually emerges as a volcano. Without better tomography, the plume debate is branching in new direction as scientists seek innovative new ways to test the plume theory.
