Red wine wonder drug could allow you to eat junk and lose weight

How great would it be to eat whatever you want while not gaining a pound and fighting your risk of diabetes at the same time? There's no two ways about it -- that would be pretty freaking fantastic. And that's just what a recently-developed man-made drug is promising.

SRT1720, as it is currently known, harnesses the powerful nutrient resveratrol (yes, the so-called 'wonder ingredient' in red wine), which tricks the body into burning fat reserves. It could also increase stamina and protect against potentially fatal diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's and heart disease. In trials on mice, rodents given the drug didn't gain any weight, even though they were fed fatty food and were able to run twice as fast, though they needed to be forced into exercise.

What do you think? Is this truly the wonder drug we've been waiting for? Or does it sound like just a lot of hot air from the pharmaceutical industry?
