German scientists are working on developing a revolutionary new drug that will allow people to eat to their heart's content without gaining weight. The drug is based on the genetic principle that exists in some people according to which they remain thin naturally, regardless of the amount of food they consume.

"Within five to 10 years, this vision may come true," said Dr. Matthias Bluhr from the University of Leipzig in Germany today (Tuesday). The research team from the university is investigating a substitute that suppresses the normal activity of the hormone insulin on fat. "This drug will prevent the accumulation of fat in the cells," predicts Bluhler, adding that this drug will be completely different from weight reduction drugs currently on the market, which affect the rate of food digestion.

“This drug does not use a gimmick to suppress appetite. She is working on the cause of fat accumulation," said Bluher. "We know from studies done on mice that genetics is one of the components in influencing fat. The studies showed that mice without a certain insulin receptor naturally stay leaner, burn more energy and live longer than other mice.

Bluhr emphasized that the study was not intended for cosmetic corrections but for the treatment of obesity. More and more people are overweight, as a result they suffer from diabetes, heart problems and strokes. The treatment of these people costs, according to Bolher, billions of dollars.
