Professor David Thompson wants to fight diabetes with weight loss brought about by appetite suppression: the fancy term is 'gastric emptying.' Thompson and his research team believe this is the most effective way to both prevent and treat diabetics, as well as patients suffering from obesity.

"The potential of activating appetite regulatory peptides represents an exciting approach to both weight control and management of type II diabetes," said Prof Thompson. "Although there are major ongoing efforts on developments of drugs to potentiate appetite regulatory peptides, the selective use of specific nutrients may represent a more effective and better long-term solution."

What do you think? Is an ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure?
