Incisionless device could revolutionise treatment for metabolic diseases

A completely incisionless device that replicates metabolic surgery without making any cuts could surpass current technologies for managing conditions such as severe obesity and type 2 diabetes, a team led by an Indian researcher has found. The ForePass device could provide unmatched treatment for millions of people who reject invasive surgery or do not respond to drugs, the researchers said. The study led by Manoel Galvao Neto, from Sri Aurobindo Medical College in Madhya Pradesh, found that the ForePass endoscopic showed extraordinary efficacy in treating conditions such as severe obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).

The study also showed substantial improvements in how the body handles insulin and reduces glucose

A High Court judge rejected the company's argument that the regulations don't take into account the nutritional value of milk added to cereal. Judge Thomas Linden said that mixing a breakfast cereal that's high in sugar with milk does not change the fact that it's high in sugar. Kellogg's argument that its cereals like Crunchy Nut Clusters and Milk Chocolate Curls somehow become healthy products if they are consumed with milk is wholly unconvincing, as the addition of milk does not alter the nutritional profile of the products themselves," the judge wrote. Under the regulations, unhealthy foods will be banned from high-pro
