Exercise Pill (from Jill)

I'm sure there will be LOTS of inquiries in the next few weeks since the article came out yesterday about a new "exercise pill" so let's talk about it now before we get too far gone. First of all, this research was done in a small population of mice... there is NO way to tell if the pill will have the same effect in humans. Second, there are many other benefits to exercise besides just burning calories.... you increase your cardiovascular health, improve your mood, increase your stamina and build muscle mass - just to name a few. So, while it may seem like a "miracle cure" for any couch potatoes out there, remember the saying that "... if it's too good to be true, it probably is"
