, thanks for your post. The article was enlightening.

A year or so ago, PBS had a program about obesity that had a

researcher talking about the " second nervous system " in the gut.

It's not well understood; it's just not a glamorous area and nobody

wants to look at it. Here's a link to the program. You can watch it

online.

So I'm not surprised that they're finding out all kinds of stuff.
