What an excellent example this would be for critical appraisal classes, if only we knew which peer reviewed journal had published it (apart from Metro and the Daily Mail, of course). I can't immediately see any mention of it on the Borders website, either, interestingly.

Don't think medical books are likely to have the same effect though. Reading helps you diet Wednesday, June 13, 2007 Why slave away in the gym or bother with yet another diet when you can lose weight by getting stuck into the latest John Grisham thriller? All you need to burn off unsightly extra calories is a gripping read, say experts. This is because excitement causes the body to pump adrenaline - a fat-burning hormone - into the bloodstream, decreasing appetite and boosting metabolism The more thrilling or racy the book, the greater the calorie-burning effect will be - putting thrillers and erotic romance stories firmly at the top of the pile. For instance, getting through Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code will burn off a chicken tikka massala with pilau rice (885 calories). Grisham's Runaway Jury erases an all-day breakfast sandwich, while reading Jilly Cooper's Polo aces a Big Mac Meal, according to the research by Borders book store.
