NewsCore) - Scented crystals that trick the brain into thinking the body is full were being hailed Sunday as the latest path to weight loss in the UK.
The crystals, which are sprinkled over food, have been tested in America as part of a weight loss regime which appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
From next year they will be available in Britain.
Initial American trials involving 1,400 people over six months showed that the flavored crystals acted as an appetite suppressant by tricking the brain into thinking the body had had enough to eat after only a modest amount.
The tests were so successful that obese participants, who were offered a range of simulated flavors, including cheese, horseradish and coffee, lost an average of 28 pounds.
Now the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago, which developed the crystals, is recruiting 1,000 new volunteers to take part in a five year study.
They hope the results will prove that, unlike other diet fads, their method of weight reduction can have long-term benefits
