    Canola Oil (PUFA) Causes Obesity, Memory Impairment, And Likely Alzheimer Disease (AD)

    I really like this study because it is one of the few that examine the direct effects of adding PUFA to the diet. As such, it serves to expose the fraudulent "science" that led to the replacement of healthier oils (like beef tallow, butter, olive oil) in the Western diet with the cheap...

    Children Drinking Whole Milk Are Leaner Than Ones Drinking Skim Or Low Fat Milk

    I know Peat has mentioned a few times that people do not drink whole milk, but it appears the extra calories from whole milk are actually not the issue in weight gain, at least not in children. As I posted in my thread on the endotoxin theory of CVD, obesity is an endocrine disorder driven by...

    Endotoxin (LPS) Theory Of Atherosclerosis (CVD)

    I posted a study more than year ago, which examined the role of NO in aging and disease. The Nitric Oxide (NO) Theory Of Aging One of the main endogenous stimulators of NO synthesis is endotoxin (LPS). It turns out that the connection between LPS and CVD has been studied for a long time in...

    Allopregnanolone Levels Are Low In Both Obese And Anorectic Females

    This new study is one of the few that puts the spotlight on the role of hormones (and thus metabolism) in weight disorders. Most doctors and dieticians believe that being obese or anorectic is simply an issue of eating too much or too little. However, multiple human studies have shown that it is...

    Vitamin K Reduces Belly Fat In Some Groups

    This research comes from a commercial spin-off of Maastricht University in the Nederlands. Authors in this group seem interested in vascular calcification. Here, the interest was in osteoblast-specific protein osteocalcin (OC)and metabolsim.. They chose to use a not-huge dose on MK-7 rather than...

    Exercise + Fasting Is Stress, Causes Obesity And IR, And Requires Cortisol Blockade To Reverse

    I think this thread will ring true for all people who at some in their lives exercised in order to lose weight. Just like fasting, it works great in younger age (<30) but it really masks a bigger metabolic problem and of course badly backfired in the long run. Exercise is a forced/stressed...

    Higher Fat Diets And Fat Emulsification Increase Endotoxin (in Obese Males)

    High dietary fat is one of the primary factors for increased endotoxin load, especially if the fat is PUFA. This is probably one of the main reasons Peat prefers lower fat diets. However, most of the studies on the fat-endotoxin link so far have been on animal models. This new human study...

    More Than One Third Of Americans Have Diabetes Or Pre-diabetes

    So much for the "indisputably improving" health of the nation as every HHS secretary since the Vietnam War has officially claimed. Up until recently the claim was that while the nation was getting quite visibly obese by the day that was not translating into adverse health outcomes. Well, so much...

    Low Socioeconomic Status Affects Life Expectancy More Than Obesity

    I think the "war on obesity" we are seeing currently, while well-intentioned, may be a bit misplaced as obesity itself has now been tied to low socioeconomic status. This study has now found that that low status is more important for your overall life expectancy than how much you weigh. Given...

    Solid Evidence That Stress Causes Obesity

    The statement in the title should be fairly obvious for most forum members or people following Peat's work. In fact, most endocrinologists are keenly aware of the role of stress and cortisol in causing obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes. However, believe it or not, officially the FDA and...

    Insulin Resistance As An Endocrine Disorder

    This argument has flared up so many times on this forum and I doubt we have reached any agreement. I am on the side that insulin resistance and obesity are endocrine disorders. There is a group here that maintains that it is the obesity that really triggers it all. This study discusses some of...

    Breaking News: Colorectal Cancer Rates In Young People Have Doubled

    I don't know which is sadder - this front page news reported today on CNN, or the fact that the pharma/medical press continues to call colorectal cancer largely a "genetic" phenomenon. Surely, there must be an evil gene that swept through the population in just 2 decades and targeted the young...

    Strong Androgens (DHT) As Treatment For CVD, Obesity And Metabolic Syndrome

    The study used DHT as the active drug but since the positive effects were due to androgen receptor agonism, any other strong androgen agonist should do. I think the lack of estrogenicity also contributed to the benefits of DHT observed in this study, so this would explain the mixed results with...
