Want to stay healthy? Then stick to a traditional Korean diet with
plenty of "doenjang," fermented soy bean paste.
That's what a study by professor Park Gyun-young of Busan University
found. He has scientific evidence to back the time-old belief that
Korean traditional bean paste prevents obesity, and discovered that the
soy bean paste has much stronger antiobesity properties than
"gochujang," red pepper paste.

The researchers put two groups of mice on a high-fat diet for a month,
feeding one group of mice with an additional 10 percent of bean paste.
Mice fed bean paste put on an average 246.6 grams while the others
recorded a 287.4-gram weight increase.

I never heard of a mouse that weighs more than 246 grams.

You are right of course, typical mouse is around 20-30 g at maturity.
Perhaps the term "mice" refers to a group of 10!
