I was intending to go to Woo's blog, so reading this as a Woo post was very strange. As many would agree, the "style" is so different.<br /><br />But what struck me was the use of the phrase "resistant to obesity" in the last sentence. Woo uses this phrase as well.<br /><br />As a person who has never been obese, just modestly overweight at worst, I tend not to think of myself as "resistant to obesity." I think of heavier people as "prone to obesity."<br /><br />I wonder how this semantic difference influences obesity research, if at all. The phrase "resistant to obesity" implies that in our "obesigenic" environment, getting fatter is the norm. Thus, deviation from the norm on the thinner side is "resistant." In this sense, "obesigenic" means equally "too much carbohydrate" to LCHF devotees as "too many calories" means to the mainstream view. <br /><br />I realize this off-topic to a very interesting and pointed post, but there it is.<br /><br />By the way, great to see a new post after a month of drought.LA_Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775262019154051166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827769867360256958.post-9294679685027567312015-02-06T21:28:54.843-08:002015-02-06T21:28:54.843-08:00I endorse this blog entry.
