Gorge on the burger and don't you worry...

Thisislondon reports that a pill is being created to let hamburger-and-chips lovers eat their favourite fatty foods without putting on too much weight. It could reduce the need to eat large amounts of vegetables with a meal, would be cheap to buy and could be on sale in Britain within a year.

As a side-effect, the pill will cut the risk of developing cancer by mopping up free radicals, the substances that damage body cells. The pill contains polyphenol chemicals, which has shown to reduce the amount of fat absorbed into the blood.
