Vibrating Pill
* Select the correct answer into all dropdown fields. You need to answer all questions before clicking verify button.
Scientists have developed a vibrating pill that may help dieters feel full and eat less. The pill, which is swallowed before a meal, contains a tiny motor that is by stomach acid. The motor makes the pill vibrate, stimulating the stomach wall and creating a of satiety. The pill was tested on pigs, who ate almost 40% food after ingesting the capsule. The researchers, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Texas at San Antonio, hope to conduct human trials soon. They believe the pill could be a safe and effective alternative to invasive weight-loss surgeries or drugs with effects. The pill is designed to pass through the digestive system naturally after a few hours.
