Experts Find Latest 'Weight Loss Wonder': Sniffing Spray Leads to 30-Pound Weight Loss

　　If you or your wife have given birth, you must be familiar with oxytocin. Oxytocin is a hormone in mammals, which can trigger uterine contractions during childbirth in women, stimulate milk ejection rather than secretion. Additionally, it can reduce the levels of stress hormones like adrenaline in the body to lower blood pressure. Oxytocin also has a cute nickname: "love hormone" because it is closely linked to parts of the brain that govern emotions, cognition, and social behavior. Intimate behaviors of both genders, such as sexual intercourse and hand-holding, can stimulate the release of oxytocin (men and women both).

　　However, for those struggling with excess fat, none of this matters! The key is that scientists used oxytocin last year to develop a "fat-burning magic" – just spray the oxytocin nasal spray before meals three times a day, and it can effectively suppress appetite. You can lose 17 kilograms in a year!!!

　　Scientists Elizabeth Lawson and her team at Harvard Medical School randomly selected 25 healthy men, 13 of whom were of normal weight and 12 were obese, to participate in an experiment. They were asked to spray their noses one hour before breakfast and then provided with a menu for breakfast one hour later, with options for both large and small portions, where the large portion was double the small portion.

　　The results showed that those who sprayed oxytocin ate an average of 122 calories less per meal and consumed 9 grams less fat. This is equivalent to reducing calorie intake by 366 calories per day across three meals, and by sticking to it for 12 weeks, one can lose 4 kilograms, and a year later, 17 kilograms.

　　Furthermore, scientists found that spraying oxytocin can also accelerate fat burning in the body. More importantly, it seems to have no side effects on the human body!

　　What is the mechanism?

　　To understand why spraying oxytocin in the nose makes people eat less, scientists conducted further research and found that oxytocin nasal spray enhances self-control. The specific mechanism is still under investigation.

　　In fact, Lawson was not the first to discover that oxytocin can suppress appetite. Earlier studies had already shown that oxytocin is involved in the brain's appetite suppression pathway. Oxytocin can also increase insulin sensitivity in the body, helping to regulate blood sugar levels.

　　Additionally, scientists found that oxytocin also promotes dopamine secretion. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is mainly responsible for transmitting information about pleasure, excitement, and happiness in the brain. Smoking and drug use can increase dopamine secretion, making addicts feel happy and excited. Love is also a result of dopamine secretion.

　　After reading the above, have you had a thousand horses of grass and mud racing through your mind? If I had known about this earlier, why would I still be calculating calories, dieting, and exercising every day?

　　Don't hurry! This fat-burning nasal spray is still a long way from being widely available on the market. Currently, it has only been approved for clinical use in Europe, and in the United States, it can only be used in clinical trials. So, if you're hoping to lose weight by just spraying your nose, you'll have to wait many years.

　　A Review of the Weight-Loss "Miracle Drugs" That Once Hoped and Disillusioned the Overweight

　　Although many people around the world are still struggling to make ends meet, an increasing number are joining the ranks of obesity. In many Western countries, the obesity rate has exceeded 30%. This large group of obese individuals has become a "cake" for pharmaceutical giants. Since the 1980s, pharmaceutical companies have developed one fat-burning "miracle drug" after another, and the overweight have become小白鼠代代相传.

　　Fenfluramine and Levofenfluramine: Developed by the American pharmaceutical company Wyeth, they were later found to often cause severe heart valve damage with long-term use, ultimately leading to ventricular dilation and heart failure. Starting in 1997, these two drugs were banned in many countries. Wyeth also paid a compensation of 890 million dollars to patients who suffered heart damage due to taking the company's weight-loss drugs.

　　Sibutramine: In the late 1990s, Abbott Laboratories developed "Sibutramine," a central nervous system inhibitor that could increase feelings of fullness, suppress appetite, promote metabolism, and break down fat, effectively reducing weight. However, a few years later, it was also proven to be harmful. Starting in 2009, it was banned in Europe and America. In 2010, China's drug administration explicitly required the cessation of production, sales, and use of Sibutramine preparations and raw materials, with already marketed products to be recalled and destroyed by manufacturers.

　　Xenical: The main component of Xenical is "orlistat," which was originally invented by Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche as an inhibitor. It works by inhibiting gastrointestinal lipase, blocking fat absorption, reducing calorie intake, and controlling weight. In 2007, the sales of this product were reported to be close to 2 billion dollars, making it the world's best-selling weight-loss drug. However, it also has potential side effects, including gastrointestinal disorders, and may even cause severe liver damage. Roche has now stopped production.

　　Alli: The only over-the-counter weight-loss drug currently approved by the U.S. FDA. Produced by GlaxoSmithKline, the raw materials used in its production are provided by Roche, the producer of Xenical. Although the amount of orlistat in Alli is only about half that of Xenical, its safety has always been a concern for medical experts and regulatory authorities.

　　Overall, most weight-loss drugs that were widely used in the past have been phased out after about a decade of use due to side effects. Therefore, the best and only fat-burning "miracle drug" is to管住嘴迈开腿! There is none other!
