Summary

• Scientists have preformed an experiment on mice that shows that we may finally be able to have medicine for overeating. Studies show that our brain can tell when we've had enough of eating do to one protein, OGT. Scientists will work hard to produce this special medicine that will benefit everyone.

My opinion

• This new advancement of medicine is great, because one third, or 34.5%, people in the U.S. suffer from overweight. The decreasing of overweight will be caused by the medicine scientists might be able to make. I chose this article because I have seen that many bad things overeating causes, and knowing that there might finally be a cure intereates me.
