Fatostatin, could a name be more politically incorrect?
Yeah, can’t they at least call it lipostatin or sumfin?
What’s your guess as to what they will call the pill?
Fatassashrinkin?

FReepmail me if you want on or off the diabetes ping list.
More has been claimed of snake oil.
Look at the bright side — we know, maybe, 50,000 ways to cure mouse cancer.
Sveltia.
lmao and on a side note found this thought it was great!
Would anybody really be so bad at PR as to want to rename Obama’s health care initiative after the late Senator Ted? Don’t they understand the inevitable power of alliterative K’s? (Just ask Krusty the Klown.)

This new research discovery won’t sit well with the homosexuals, after all ? didn’t they claim that they are the way they are because of the Gay Gene ?
What? Fatostatin cures homosexuality too? Buy lots of stock in whoever puts it out, we have a blockbuster to beat all blockbusters.
LOL. Well I guess they didn’t call it FATSOSTATIN.
I’m glad to hear about this. I’m starting right now to give the “small molecule” a big job when, after the typical “five to ten years away” arrives.
Wait, it’s ultra PC. There’s nothing more PC than statins.
What is fat’s fate, if this stuff blocks its metabolism? Does it simply return to the digestive tract, for an effect much like that of Alli?
GAYTOSTATIN to cure homosexuality!
Modern humans eat perhaps 500% more carbohydrates than are necessary. The excessive glucose levels that are produced from these carbohydrates are processed into fatty acids by the liver. When the liver cannot convert the excess glucose
fatty acids fast enough, the glucose levels rise to toxic levels and the kidneys excrete the the excess glucose in the urine. Kidney failure will eventually occur when excess glucose is processed for excretion on a daily basis. For myself, I would prefer to be fat and have my kidneys intact.
This proposed therapy is probably a dead end proposition.
