I won't care at all once i'm dead!

Except there's no chance of it going anywhere.

Why? It's not like you'd be able to sit back and reminisce about it afterwards.

I don't know why you're stunned. The medical industry's not very smart. There's a lot of things that seem like they should be obvious to anyone with half a brain, but which don't get picked up by the medical industry for decades. They're also almost entirely driven by what makes profits for the pharmaceutical industry. Over prescription of antibiotics anyone?

Another example is biopsy. It's been glaringly obvious to me for decades that the worst thing you could do to a suspected cancer is to chop into it - but chopping into it (biopsy) is the first thing quacks normally do when they suspect a lump could be carcinogenic. And, guess what, research has finally found that biopsy (along with other standard procedures) can lead to metastasis (Juratli et al 2014). And it's usually the metastasis that kills people. It doesn't bear thinking about how many people have been killed by the so-called "treatment".

In a couple of decades, maybe someone will think of doing some research into the role of fluid retention in obesity - unless they already have, but you didn't bother citing it.

Fair enough. It happens sometimes!

Citation? And what part does fluid retention play in this? None, according to your theory. I think you're wrong.

If you're so smart, explain the thermodynamics of fluid retention.

Of course, if you were really as smart as you think you are, you wouldn't post a/c.

Your medal's in the mail.

Have you considered the possibility that at least some of the excess weight is fluid rather than fat? The body seems to retain fluid in response to conact with environmental contaminants. In my case (and i'm not really fat), i get fluid retention from breathing in the fumes pumped out by computer cooling fans - presumably mainly flame retardants. It has other effects than just fluid retention (cough, headache, etc) and different computers have different effects - presumably because they use different classes of flame retardants - but the fluid retention is quite noticeable and can happen quickly.

All electronic equipment seems to be drowned in flame retardants before it leaves the factory, as does furniture, carpets, etc. Flame retardants are volatile organic compounds which may also be persistent pollutants, and have been linked to an array of different health impacts. Some have been banned (e.g., polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and dibrominated phenyl ethers (DBEs) - banned by the EU in about 2005) but they just keep replacing them with other ones, which have unknown effects. Brominated flame retardants seem to be being phased out because of health concerns, and replaced with fluorinated ones- which i supect may prove to be worse.I believe brominated flame retardants were developed to replace chlorinated ones - again because of health concerns.

Anyway, i think fluid retention caused by environmental toxins merits investigation to determine its role (if any) in obesity.

Maybe, but i doubt it's as simple as that. I think the dogma that obesity = excess fat is severely confounding our understanding of this issue. One thing i never see discussed anywhere is the contribution to obesity made by fluid retention - which i suspect is considerable.

Everyone seems to assume that excess flesh is fat, but that's not necessarily the case. The body can retain fluid in response to environmental contaminants of various types and most people live in ever more toxic environments. If you seal people into houses with electronic equipment, furnishings, carpets, etc, all of which have been drowned in flame retardants - volatile organic compounds which have been linked to many different health impacts - it seems likely that at least some of them will end up with some degree of fluid retention as a result.

Antibiotics flame retardants, and shit food are probably the three main contributors to obesity. Wrong gut bacteria is one product of antibiotics use.

Yes there is - so a new bunch of parasites can skim off some of your money.

The cost of the new system won't come out of the profits of the retailers - it'll come out of your pocket. Or phone account or whatever.

That's because they can only delude themselves to a certain extent. Deep down they know that when they die that's it. Nothing. But they try and believe that's not true. So, of course, because they spend their whole lives desperately clutching a delusion, they never come to terms with oblivion. All but the most gullible ones live their lives desperately fearing reality.

You mean you didn't find it funny - which is not the same thing at all.

I found it funny, therefore the gp is funny.

He died for a better life?

That's like fighting for peace. Or fucking for celibacy.

It's so i can put my music on it and get better sound quality when i play it on my car stereo.

Unfortunately all theories about the origins of sexuality have been comprehensively debunked. Nobody really has any idea - although plenty of people think they do.

Personally i don't see why it matters. Why should somebody's sexuality be of any concern to anyone else? The only sane reason to care is if you want to fuck them.
