Exercise: Pills, promises, and professional responsibility

For the 2/3rds of Americans who do not regularly exercise, there might be a "way out" for them. All the health benefits of regular aerobic exercise, in a little pill?

IF they perform this study on humans, and IF they see similar results, that you can get the benefits of aerobic exercise in a pill (without the time spent in a work-out), then what is the professional responsibility of doctors who administer the pill?
We have seen before how "quick fix" pills have caused fatal health problems. (Redux, phen-phen have killed unsuspecting users trying to lose weight), for example).

Let this short video get you thinking:


Is it possible? Perhaps the pill can reduce signs of heart disease, like plaque build-up on walls of blood vessels. But can it possibly mimick all of these secondary symptoms, too?
* Elevated mood
* Improved sleep
* Reduced muscle pain
* Arthritis pain relief
* Decreased joint stiffness and tension
* Increased libido (sex drive)
* Enhanced attention span and focus
* Regulated insulin and glycemic levels
* Stress relief

The list of benefits from regular aerobic exercise is endless. The pill has not effectively proven to improve every condition and health factor on this list. Until then, why throw caution to the wind?
Look out, researchers and physicians: you have some big responsibilities ahead!
