    Plasticisers (bpa, Dehp) Boost Pufa, Estrogen, Cortisol & Block Glucose Oxidation

    While the FDA continues to claim that BPA and other plastic derivatives are harmless since no known mechanism exists to explain their effects, the mechanisms of action have been quite well known for decades.

    Obese Men Pass This Handicap On To Their Children

    Another study adding to the evidence that it is possible to inherit non-genetic features. The article reviews several studies, including one I mentioned on Danny's show.

    Scientists Now Think That Being Fat Can Protect Your Health

    Finally, the "obesity paradox" is becoming mainstream knowledge. The most plausible explanation is that as per another study I posted, overweight and mildly obese people tend to have higher metabolic rate then lean ones. A second plausible explanation is that, as the article itself points out...

    Gut Bacteria Overgrowth, Regardless Of Type, Causes Obesity

    This study should be shown to any nutrition "coach" or doctor advocating probiotics and "healthy gut bacteria". As the study eloquently shows, overgrowth of gut bacteria is a causal factor of obesity and liver damage, and it does not matter what kind you have. I guess having C. Difficile is...

    The Inflammatory Syndrome: The Role Of Adipose Tissue Cytokines In Metabolic Disorders Linked To Obe

    "Numerous other inflammatory mediators are produced and potentially secreted into the circulation by adipose tissue (Table 2). Among these, adiponectin (81), resistin (20), acylation-stimulating protein (82), and components of the renin-angiotensin system (83) may be the most important in...

    Vitamin A Is A Powerful Anti-obesity Agent By Lowering Cortisol

    I know some people on the forum struggle with high cortisol, as well as its accompanying side effects such as weight gain, muscle loss, etc. It looks like vitamin A may be able to help, and it can do so even in people with Cushing disease whose cortisol levels are VERY high. Here is some info on...

    The Obesity "paradox" - Confirmed Once Again

    This study looked at people who had undergone cardiac surgery, so it probably does not apply directly to "healthy" people. However, the findings are pretty telling - if you are unhealthy and about to have a surgical procedure being overweight or mildly obese can save your life...

    Effects Of Long-Term Boron Administrations On High-Energy Diet-Induced Obesity In Rabbits: NMR-Based

    This study was interesting: http://www.medwelljournals.com/fulltext ... .1512.1515 If I remember correctly, Peat has said Boron is estrogenic, or that we do not really need it. Basically they induced obesity in rabbits and then through the use of Boron reduced fatty liver. I would be...

    Four Obesity Paradoxes Explained

    I don't know if the author of that blog follows this forum or not, but we have been discussing these "paradoxes" for some time now.

    Pregnenolone For Obesity And Insulin Resistance

    I wrote in another thread about the history of PCN, which is just a slightly modified proprietary pregnenolone. This study shows that a human equivalent dose of 3.5mg/kg prevented the obesity caused by high-fat diet. The duration of experiment was 7 weeks. Other noteworthy findings were that...

    Lisuride Is A Potent Anti-histamine, And Peripheral Serotonin Antagonist

    I posted some threads on treating obesity by inhibiting peripheral synthesis of serotonin, or antagonizing its actions. One drug that could do that is cyproheptadine, however some people gain weight on it due to increased appetite. Other drugs that are effective for obesity are cabergoline and...
