OK, what I want -- now, of course -- is something that will keep Ghrelin at
low levels in MY body. I'd like that something to look, feel & taste like a
potato chip, but barring that, I'll settle for a piece of good Swiss
chocolate. Wouldn't that be lovely? For all us overweight folk, we could
just have a piece of chocolate three times a day and our Ghrelin levels would
drop. While we are at it, perhaps it could cause us to crave steamed
broccoli and carrots rather than said potato chips.....
