Get Your Body in Shape...Take a Pill

Scientists have discovered a natural chemical compound that has such a pronounced effect on muscles that a single dose increases endurance in mice by 44 percent. (So if you're a mouse, you've got it made.) Study leader Ronald Evans tells Science Magazine"We did not expect you could create exercise in a pill."When a compound called AICAR was given to mice in conjunction with an exercise routine, the average endurance of the mice increased by 70 percent.. More astonishing, mice that didn't exercise at all achieved a 44 percent endurance boost overnight.
The researchers have warned the International Olympic Committee to test for the drug, which has been available to medical researchers for years. I'll let you know when it's available for human consumption.
