Fat is a feminist issue

Nature, 1998, vol. 396, issue 6709, 318-318

Abstract: Daedalus believes that fat, especially for women, represents a vicious cycle. Fat women are perceived in many cultures as being less sexually desirable than their thinner counterparts, yet they are more likely to desire sex themselves because fat is a source of oestrogen. So, DREADCO chemists are seeking a drug that dissolves in fat but stimulates rather than sabotages its biochemistry, boosting the production of both oestrogen and leptin.
