Scientist Says His Fat-Burning Drug Is Almost Ready After Years of Research

Is the world ready for a magical drug that not only burns fat but also increases muscle?

Researcher Ronald Evans thinks he’s almost there after a breakthrough a decade ago that came with some deadly side effects. In 2007, Evans was completing a study showing that mice on a certain drug burned more fat and were more athletic – even without much exercise.

Evans warned over and over that the pills were not ready for humans to take, but people didn’t listen to the part about cancerous tumors developing in the mice.

Ten years later, the researcher believes he’s found a drug that can boost metabolism and muscle without disastrous side effects. The first test will be used to fight Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a gene mutation affecting around 1 in 5,000 men.

Bloomberg reported:

“A drug that promotes the benefits of fitness could have widespread applications,” [Evans] says with more than a little understatement. Beyond tackling obesity, a pill that replicates the benefits of exercise could help reduce the risk for chronic inflammation, diabetes, even cancer.

On today’s show, Pat and Jeffy were definitely ready for this miracle drug to be on the market.

“I’m in,” Jeffy said.

“Who isn’t?” Pat asked. “This would be the best-selling pill in the history of the world.”

PAT: Some other good news: This is pretty amazing, if it turns out to -- to be what they say it has potential to be. They've developed -- scientists named Ronald Evans has been working on a fat-burning pill. Now I got your attention, right? It supposedly -- the one he developed in like 2007, so it's been ten years since he initially developed it.

It worked on mice to the extent that they lost weight and -- and they were in such good shape, it was like they had been working out. It's almost like a workout pill.

And so he said at the time, it's not ready for humans yet. We have to test this for a while.

JEFFY: Right. Which they were doing.

PAT: Well, China reverse engineers these things. And they come up with some sort of powder and start selling it. Athletes are buying it, because they hear how great it works.

JEFFY: Right.

PAT: Ronald Evans is saying, wait. Hold it. There is a reason why I said this isn't for human scampings yet. This could cause Casper. And it has for certain people. Now (?) to the point to where it's not harmful to humans, and it burns fat. And it -- it changes your body's metabolism, to where your body thinks it's been working out and responds accordingly.

JEFFY: I'm in. I'm in.

PAT: Who isn't? This would be the best-selling pill in the history of the world, I'm guessing.

JEFFY: Ever.

PAT: Can you imagine if you could burn fat with a pill? Oh, count us all in on that.

JEFFY: Can I imagine? Yes. Yes, I can.

Why We Don’t Recognize Real Nazis Anymore | Konstantin Kisin | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 202

"TRIGGERnometry" co-host Konstantin Kisin grew up in the Soviet Union, so he knows what tyranny looks like. These days, it’s huge mobs of pro-Palestinian protesters prowling the streets, celebrating Hitler — literally. As Kisin tells Glenn: “The people who’ve spent seven years calling people Nazis can’t recognize actual Nazis when they see them.” He suggests that they be rewarded with a one-way ticket to Gaza. Speaking from his home in London — where hundreds of thousands of anti-Israel Brits marched in solidarity with anti-Semitism — Kisin warns Glenn that the situation is about to get even worse. Throughout this episode of “The Glenn Beck Podcast,” he exudes a palpable unease as he charts the telltale signs of a further societal demise, from the indoctrination that has overtaken the education system and the lack of religion to Russia’s war in Ukraine and the terrifying rise of anti-Semitism. He describes his evolution from a centrist-leaning political commentator to someone who sees the far Left for what it is: hateful and dangerous. But Kisin and Glenn’s discussion is not all doom and gloom. Kisin, who’s interviewed notable guests like Jordan Peterson and Bill Maher on his podcast, thinks that a course correction has already started taking place. For example, he tells Glenn why the collapse of the mainstream media is a good thing and why people should be hopeful that social media will someday be as taboo as cigarettes are today. He’s also optimistic about the future of comedy, especially here in America: “People are realizing that wokeness is not the solution to the crisis of meaning and purpose that many young people are suffering.”

Part 3 | ‘Chosen By Allah’: The Truth Behind Iran’s Mission to DESTROY The West | Rumors of War

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, recently told Hamas it would NOT enter into the war against Israel and that the terrorist group had not given Iranian officials any prior warning of its attack on October 7th. Hmm…do we REALLY believe that? Because, in reality, Iran has not only been funding Hamas for years, but it has also publicly declared a mission to destroy America — and its allies — ever since it became a theocratic nation decades ago. Iran is willing to use any means possible to complete this goal…nuclear weapons included. But why? Why is there so much hatred against the West and its allies? What’s fueling this goal? In this three-part series, which originally aired in 2011, you’ll learn about the history and the dangerous ideology behind Iran’s every move, the way Democrats and the Obama administration facilitated its progress, and just how close Iran is to its nuclear war goals…
