It’s already been invented...it’s called “Dietandexercise.”

"Fatostatin"? I seriously thought this was a parody, until I read it all the way through. How about Lipostatin, or Adipostatin.

Anyways, yes, this may be good news. Its a shame our modern lifestyles and eating habits are making us fat, but lets face it, we are never going to voluntarily change back, so something like this could be quite useful. I wonder what the exact mechanism, if it affects the metabolism, appetite, or both.

I am currently in the middle of a major weight loss diet (40 lbs, and I am a short guy!) So far, its been hard as heck, much harder than when I was young. I finally had to do a radical diet to get it working....

It probably ends up turning people into zombies, though.
Good news for DNC candidates, I suppose.

Cholesterol does NOT cause heart disease. High cholesterol is most likely a symptom of other factors, such as obesity, smoking, sedentary lifestyles, genetics, or other diseases. In fact, when studies are reviewed, and high-risk patients are removed, the majority of those who developed heart disease actually had LOW cholesterol. There are many studies coming to light now, in fact, that demonstrate that high cholesterol may be GOOD for you, and is your body’s response to other factors as a self-healing mechanism.

See http://www.ravnskov.nu/myth1.htm

Dr. Ravnskov has taken a second look at the data that the pharma companies are manipulating to sell their statin drugs. When you read his findings at the link above, I’m sure your eyes will be widely opened. This is the biggest scam perpetrated on the public since Obama ran for election (actually, this was before that).

Under Obamacare this type of break through drug research will no longer be done as government regulators will never approve the cost of such drugs.

This exercise claims to lower blood sugar instantly. I started this woman's exercise program three weeks ago and I'm gobsmacked at how much better I feel all around. You don't diet, you lose inches/reshape quickly, and you only exercise 15 minutes a day. Figuring out some of her exercises can take some time, but once you know them, you know them.

The reason it is so hard to get rid of fat is that for the vast majority of the time humans have been on Earth, “fat was life”. If you lost too much fat you would die. So the body has all sorts of mechanisms to create and protect its fat.

Fat is also an important part of the immune system. Within fat are clumps of cells called MAST cells, that when signaled or irritated produce chemicals important to the immune response against disease. The more fat you have, the more MAST cells you have, and more than proportionally. So a fat person has far more than a skinny person.

In turn, when MAST cells are irritated, some of the chemicals they release are “pro-fat”, making it easier to gain and keep fat.

Within the last month, researchers have discovered that if a fat mouse is returned to a normal diet, but given MAST-inhibitor chemicals, they quickly lose weight until normal weight.

MAST inhibitors are also sold OTC in drug stores, for two other purposes. As nasal spray and eye drops. Unfortunately, these only subdue local MAST cells, not those in the body, and they are not well absorbed in the digestive tract. So even if you drank a whole bunch, it probably wouldn’t do much.

However, otherwise this stuff is very safe and effective. And this is why there is going to be a rush of other fat-loss products, that may be far less effective. If they don’t sell them soon, nobody will want them because they can buy a drug that works.

So where does the energy that is in the food go?

It has to go somewhere.

Some really interesting research lately has been on the ability of the catalase enzyme to extend the life span of up to 50% or more in rodents and other animals. It has something to do with specifically targeting the mitochondria where it can rid the hydrogen peroxide.

They also recently discovered that catalase, or the low levels of it causes gray hair.

So does it affect Type I diabetes or Type II or both? The source does not say.
