The Harvard Medical School conducted an experiment by monitoring the eating habits of 25 young men. Half of these men were overweight or obese while the other half were normal weight. These men were divided in two groups and one of them were given a nasal spray of Oxytocin while the other group was given a placebo.

For the uninitiated, Oxytocin is the hormone released by the body when you’re cuddling, kissing or having sex. These men were asked to have large meals after consuming their dose. The experiment was repeated after 8 weeks with the doses reversed between the groups.
