Crush cravings with peppermint scent?

Hey all,

Just wanted to share this tidbit ...

I saw this in the local paper, but it's originally from the Chicago Tribune:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/health/sc-health-1019-bit-of-fitness-20111019,0,632350.column

Apparently, a "study showed that volunteers who sniffed peppermint scent every two hours were not as hungry as nonsniffers and — even better — they ate 2,800 fewer calories in a week."

Anyone tried this? I'm thinking I need to get some peppermint Chapstick!
