White fat in the brain also causes dementia.

It invades the white matter and effectively short circuits things.

Bimagrunab targets white fat and increase skeletal muscle by inhibition of myostatin. It’s already been used in a number of medical trials.

A 200lbs man would lose an average of 44 lbs of fat and gain 10 lbs of muscle.

“White fat in the brain also causes dementia.”

Proteins, not fat cells.

“It invades the white matter and effectively short circuits things.”

Think again.

And we wonder why people from the future travel back to the past, looking like aliens because they messed up their bodies so badly. “The sins of the fathers...,” altering DNA and passing it down through the generations like time bombs.

“Think again.”

OK, I think you’ve never heard of White Matter Disease, which is distinct issue from what you are talking about.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_human_combustion

“Spontaneous human combustion” refers to the death from a fire originating without an apparent external source of ignition; a belief that the fire starts within the body of the victim. This idea and the term “spontaneous human combustion” were both first proposed in 1746 by Paul Rolli, a Fellow of the Royal Society, in an article published in the Philosophical Transactions concerning the mysterious death of Countess Cornelia Zangheri Bandi.[2] Writing in The British Medical Journal in 1938, coroner Gavin Thurston describes the phenomenon as having “apparently attracted the attention not only of the medical profession but of the non-medical professionals one hundred years ago” (referring to a fictional account published in 1834 in the Frederick Marryat cycle).[3] In his 1995 book Ablaze!, Larry E. Arnold, a director of ParaScience International, wrote that there had been about 200 cited reports of spontaneous human combustion worldwide over a period of around 300 years.[4]


finally figure it out. line up for the treatment

Now they just have to build a throttle for the self burning fat cells.

You are inhuman to suggest I have to eat less and move more. Such cruelty.

OK, I think you don’t know what White Matter Disease is.

Well, you would be wrong.

White fat, also known as white adipose tissue, has been found to infiltrate the brain in certain circumstances. This infiltration can occur in response to various factors, including obesity, high-fat diet, and inflammation.

Inflammation and White Fat Infiltration

Research has shown that neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, can transiently infiltrate intra-abdominal fat early in the course of high-fat feeding. This infiltration can lead to the activation of immune responses and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which can have negative effects on brain health.

Visceral Obesity and White Matter Hyperintensities

Visceral obesity, characterized by an excessive accumulation of fat around the abdominal organs, has been linked to deep white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in the brain. WMHs are associated with vascular risk factors and increase the risk of cognitive decline, dementia, and stroke. The relationship between visceral obesity and WMHs is thought to be mediated by inflammation, as visceral obesity is linked to higher circulating levels of inflammatory markers such as IL6 and CRP.

Implications for Brain Health

The infiltration of white fat into the brain can have negative consequences for brain health, including the development of WMHs and potentially even neurodegenerative diseases. Furthermore, the activation of immune responses and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines can lead to oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, which can contribute to neurodegeneration.

How much of this is going to be treated as approval for an irresponsible diet?

You should be ashamed of inferring your ideas came from a reputable source.

Most of what you posted is from your imagination and NOT from the link.

“Anything but eat healthy and stay active.”

The length that so many people go to avoid these two items is mind boggling.

You must be fat and worried. Here you go, there’s hope if you lose your gut:

It confused the daylights out if me seeing two different FReepers with some variant of ‘Texas’ in their name, crossing swords.
