Hogs may soon be fed thiouracil, the opposite of thyroxine, to make their figures fatter and more attractive.

Thiouracil is a synthetic drug which slows metabolism, the rate at which the body burns its fuel-food.

For each 100 Ibs. of weight gained, they ate 27.5% less feed than hogs that were deprived of thiouracil.

Thiouracil, used for disturbances of the thyroid gland, may make the legs swell, damage the white blood cells, cause death.
