Fatty McEnzymes 

Brown University researchers have identified two enzymes, PC1 and PC2, that are critical to hypothalamic regulation of metabolism and food intake. Regulated by Leptin, these two activate a number of nuropeptides, including insulin and TRH, which can make you burn fat and eat less.

In order to make most enzymes, you need vitamins. Besides that, vitamin supplements are all the rage these days, supposedly to prevent and guard against any number of diseases. Antioxidants are especially popular, due to their links to better cardiovascular health. However, new research indicates that you have to actually eat the fruits and veggies that naturally contain the vitamins, as opposed to popping supplements, to get any benefit. Sorry Dr. Atkins!!
