Hope it's of interest!This term's edition of the Cambridge Alumni Magazine has an article by Professor Sadaf Farooqi titled "This idea must die: 'Obesity is caused by lack of willpower' " He was interviewed by Lucy Jolin. He says: The myth that obesity is simply down to a lack of moral fibre or willpower is simply not true - but it is incredibly pervasive." He mentions the discovery of the hormone Leptin, discovered in 1994 by Professor Jeffrey Friedman. This hormone controls our appetite. In 1997 it was demonstrated that a lack of Leptin causes obesity because of an unsatisfied appetite.</blockquote>
