Gut reactions
15 September 2011, 19.00 - 20.30

Appetite is the body's complex and still mysterious system for
regulating our food intake. It involves our guts, brains and genes.
We show you how in today’s world the system can sometimes go wrong
and how we can fix it. Our speakers discuss whether an
understanding of the chemistry can help us control appetite and
therefore our weight.
