Far from causing people to grow fat from attacks of’ the munchies,’ Marijuana may be the best diet news yet! Of course Marijuana is already being used for nausea, pain, to increase appetite in patients who are undergoing cancer treatments, and as an adjunct in the treatment of MS and other serious diseases. When you have a panacea, the news just keeps getting better!
A study at Beth-Israel in Boston, conducted by Dr. Murray Mittleman showed results which could be life changing for people suffering from overweight and other serious health problems. A study also showed that Marijuana corrected the inability to metabolize sugar and carbohydrates,and seemed to correct insulin resistance. As if a smaller waistline wasn’t reward enough, good cholesterol was also improved.
Of course more research is needed, and this skeptic wonders how anxious drug companies and the diet industry will be to dispense with expensive – and often ineffective medications and programs in favor of a less expensive, natural cure. The best way to assure that this cure will be available, may be to push for legalization in every state.
