Summary: The results were published in the FASEB Journal. PAR2 may be a biomarker for metabolic dysfunction, and PAR2 antagonism can be an effective intervention for treating metabolic dysfunction and obesity.

i just left a message for my doctor about this, asking if he can get rid of blubber now that we know its just an inflammatory reaction?

we will see what he comes up with.
he’s previously told us..that if he knew how to reduce weight, he would treat himself first....doctor heal thyself and all that, ha!

we will see.

In case you may be interested (inflammation, diabetes, cancer research). Older article, didn't find it posted.

This seems to be entirely different research than in the recent Obesity-related disease trigger found, says UCSD team - FR / UCSD, 2014 June 13

Unfortunately, in today's rigid legal and regulatory environment, doctors may not be [legally] allowed to recommend the best treatment for the patients that they would choose for themselves.

I misread the headline - thought it said Obama is an inflammatory disease. Was impressed that medical science was finally catching up with reality.

I just lost 21 pounds in the past 2 months. I eat only meat, green veggies, eggs and cheese. Also nuts and sugar free jello pudding for dessert. No wheat rice potatoes or sugar.

It works quite well but you’re going to have a carb crash, prepare yourself for an episode of overwhelming craving. It hit me after about six months, it was no fun. I’d suggest introducing a very small amount of carbs to prevent this, maybe seasoned roasted potatoes once a week.

This gives further evidence to the viral theory of obesity.

If it was sedentary lifestyles and plentiful food alone that caused the obesity epidemic, then it should have taken off in the 1950's.

Instead it took until the late 80s and 90s to really become a problem.

One hypothesis is that a virus spread throughout the population in 1980s-90s that perhaps was ignored because the immediate effects were either limited or similar to common cold/flu viruses.

Yet, this virus was different enough that it caused inflammation/immune response that led directly to obesity or subtle behavioral changes that eventually manifested itself as obesity.

I don’t remember a lot of sedentary lifestyles in the 50s at all. At least in the blue collar ranks, everybody was working pretty hard.

Of course darn near everyone smoked, maybe the nicotine kept everybody slim?

Obesity is a gland problem. So stop eating so many glands.
