Guest guest4729 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 ^^I agree with the zombie comment and that we are all clearly preparing for it. lolThis reminds me of this crazy thing I heard about awhile ago. They would literally FREEZE your fat cells so that you would lose the fat wherever they did it. Sounds great, right?WRONG! By freezing the fat cells in certain places they literally killed those cells off. What ended up happening, you ask? Well the fat needed somewhere else to go so it just went elsewhere! Cue people with freakishly fat butts, necks, legs, arms, faces, etc. etc. Killing fat cells doesn't keep you from getting fat. The fat still needs somewhere to go so it just goes everywhere else. lol Quote Link to comment

161803398874989 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 As for the zombie comments, if you're serious that's just ridiculous. Irisin isn't very likely to make much neurobiological changes so I doubt we'll get a zombie apocalypse anytime soon.Also, what awsd00 said. If one still consumes to much calories, the fat will just go elsewhere. It's a temporary fix at best unless people actually do something with their diet. Quote Quare? Quod vita mea non tua est.

aj_rock Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 The article didn't talk about freezing cells to lose fat. Which actually has other applications for people who don't carry lots of fat, but used to, and now have excess amounts of depleted fat cells sitting around and doing nothing. In that population it makes sense to 'delete' the cells in a sense, as now they are just metabolic baggage, not doing any useful work.The problems I see with injecting hormones into people to cause white fat to turn into brown fat is exactly what they said; it's metabolically active. If it's active, but not doing any work, thermodynamics says that it must generate heat.Thus I see a great likelyhood of excess brown fat in adult humans causing overheating, profuse sweating, dehydration, heat stroke, and possibly actual stroke just for the hell of it.There's a reason we lose our brown fat. I don't think it's a good idea to go messing with it. Quote Why must I put a name on the foods I choose to eat and how I choose to eat them? Rather than tell people that I eat according to someone else's arbitrary rules, I'd rather just tell them, I eat healthy. And no, my diet does not have a name.My daily battle log! Link to comment
