Could a new pill help with America's obesity epidemic?
The Doctors discuss a gel pill that expands and binds with food and fills the stomach to make you feel more full. The pill has been approved by the FDA for people with a BMI of 24 to 40. The pill is meant to be consumed 30 minutes prior to eating and can reportedly fill a quarter of someone's stomach with the gel, which will then be digested. There are reportedly no side effects and in clinical trials, people taking it were able to lose 6.5 percent of their weight.
