It seems there is a patch for everything. What if I told you there may be an upcoming patch for weightloss? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. It’s true, researchers from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have developed a patch full of micro-needles that deliver a combination drug that changes dangerous white fat into energy burning brown fat. The study was completed on mice and researchers report the mice lost 30% of their fat mass within a month, despite eating a high fat diet. If this patch works for humans, it could mean a complete breakthrough in the obesity epidemic. Currently, over one third of Americans are obese and diabetes is at all-time records in both adults and children. Since this patch has not yet been studied in humans, we still strongly suggest the exercise and sensible eating is always your best bet for fat conversion.
