> I find this article annoying. Why is it annoying? confirming unsurprising results is important.

  Because it's framed like research for a potential weight loss pill rather than research into the mechanism behind the fairly well-known fact that people typically have less appetite while being physically active. I hate the tendency to frame everything in terms of a pill to fix our problems and/or a get rich quick scheme as a substitute for trying to figure out how to live right.

    You’re absolutely right about the quality of the submitted article. It’s written like low-grade clickbait tech “journalism”. It’s even worse than the battery-breakthrough-of-the-week university PR pieces that get posted here. I imagine the research is good and useful. Pity about the way it’s been presented.

    It is actually more important than you thing since it links manganese to metabolic syndrome.
