This would be tedious, and you would need packaging
made of thick reinforced concrete to offset the
energy of the food. |

A better option would be to mix carefully quantified
amounts of 2,4-DNP into the food. 2,4-DNP is a
mitochondrial uncoupler which causes the body to
waste large amounts of energy as heat. It ought to
be possible to make calorie-neutral or calorie-
negative chocolate. The downside would be that
overdosing on it might be a little fatal. |

A better option would be to mix carefully quantified
amounts of cyclopiazonic acid into the food.
cyclopiazonic acid inhibits the sarco/endoplasmic
reticulum calcium ATPase which causes cells to leak
calcium from the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum into the
cytoplasm. The cell wastes tremendous amounts of
energy pumping this out, only to have it leak back in
again. It ought to be possible to make calorie-neutral or
calorie- negative chocolate. The downside would be that
overdosing on it might be a little fatal. |

Would that be better than DNP? What's the clearance
time for cyclopiazonic acid? Does it have any other
known effects? |
