Do you have a source for the quote on bright light reducing apetite? I am very interested in the qualities of bright light but have not heard this claim before

It can reduce appetite, not will reduce appetite.

Take this with a grain of salt though, there are studies showing that sun exposure can trigger food seeking behavior. I believe msh is more effective and working in concert with leptin when increasing satiety.
