"We've known for years that restricting the amino acid methionine in the diet produces immediate and lasting improvements in nearly every biomarker of metabolic health,"
"The problem is that methionine-restricted diets have been difficult to implement because they taste so bad."
"A diet that offsets all the major components of metabolic disease would have an enormous impact on the nation's health, and the world's,"
"Calorie restriction is an effective weight-management tool. But for most people it is also very, very difficult to follow long-term,"
"This struggle is one of the major reasons our scientists explore every avenue to find solutions to the obesity epidemic.”
