"SCIENTISTS are set to test freeze-dried pills containing the faecal matter of healthy and lean donors in a bid to tackle the obesity crisis.

Twenty obese volunteers will be taking part in the research and each will be receiving capsules that include several grams of stool from slim donors.

The pills will be taken every week for six weeks without making any changes to their normal diet and exercise habits while researchers track any changes.

These health and weight recordings will be taken at three, six and 12 months, with the potential to continue further depending on the success of the trial."

Okay, I'd rather have surgery any day of the week then eat some one else's poo. Apparently we will do anything to lose weight! Yikes.

I thought it was bad enough having to hand over my own poo to a stranger for a stool sample for pre op tests. Not a job I'd relish having.

But this one beats that by miles!
