And the side effects are.....???
And I'm guessing that a junk food diet is not high in Mg and therefore the excess Mg in the mitochondria is due to metabolism issues from being obese, not from food intake or MG intake.
I thought I read recently that magnesium helped to prevent dementia. Do I have to choose between being fat & getting Alzheimer’s? Decisions, decisions...
And the hairline? What’s that tell you? Just sayin’
Now that you mention it, all the dementia people I have known were not fat..................
Reading the story, this sounds like an anti-Magnesium drug.
Yes, for this guy though, I am chronically low on magnesium and potassium, so I have to take supplements. Good thing they are cheap.................
It sounds like this drug keeps the magnesium from getting into the mitochondria so you can have enough magnesium in the blood to do what the rest of the body needs without having enough in the mitochondria to block energy production.
But I’m not a scientist so I don’t even know if what I just wrote even makes sense. lol
They started off as 15 minute boring commercials back in the late 40s-early 50s.

Seems to be on a loop. Wasn’t even paying attention to the TV last week and every time I looked up some skank was spraying his junk.
Yes and stop making the sofa your best friend.
“You are the fifth person who told me that in this thread. Thanks.”
You misread something you receive ten responses, you make a unique, fabulous observation, crickets.
You sure do like to use a lot of words to say nothing.
You beat me to it.
It seems neither of us was born yesterday.
Amen. I am in my 60s and was obese most of my adult life. I lost 50 lbs in my 30s, but quickly regained all of it and more. At 60, I decided I would like to see my grandkids grow up and realized it was now or never. It took me over a year and a half but I was able to lose more than 100 lbs and I have kept it off for almost a year so far.
The most important factor was walking an hour first thing every morning before eating breakfast, first dragging myself along and eventually working my way up to a slow 3-4 mph jog (60 year old joints preclude ever running any marathons). I also cut out all processed foods and sugar and reduced my caloric intake to approx 1,500 calories a day.
The first few months I dropped over 10 lbs per month. My weight loss slowed over time and after 9 months I was averaging less than 5 lbs a month. Some months I either wouldn't lose any weight at all or would gain 2-3 lbs. Once I reached my weight goal (what I weighed when I was 18) I started weight training, mostly low impact isometric exercises, dumbells and stretch bands.
I now feel better than I have in 30 years. If I could do it, anyone can.
Movie Bruce Almighty.
Woman: I’m just so thrilled on my Krispy Kreme diet. I’m losing pounds every week.
“And the side effects are.....???”
You’d probably feel very active. I’m sure it’s a stimulant.
What about the set point?
A person’s body tries to maintain equilibrium for food intake and weight maintenance. Homeostasis.
Take away certain foods and you lose a little weight-—but the body says “okay, that’s the new amount to keep from losing more weight.” Again and again.
In the PBS special and book The Truth About Fat they interviewed the Biggest Loser stars three years later and all of them were really obese again.
