BMI is not a good predictor of metabolic health. One reason it isn't is the differential contribution of visceral and subcutaneous body fat on diabesity an CVD risk. The rodent study at hand demonstrates that quite drastically. It is absolute bogus to deny the contribution of the ever-increasing amount of fat many of us are carrying around day by day to all sorts of potentially fatal diseases. In that, it is yet important to differentiate between the accumulation of intra-abdominal or visceral adipose tissue (VAT) which is associated with type 2 diabetes, dyslipidaemia and hypertension and high amounts of subcutaneous fat which are (comparatively "benign"). As Hocking et al. (2014) highlight in their latest paper, "[t]his relationship [between VAT, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidaemia and hypertension] was originally attributed to increased NEFA [non-esterified fatty acid] flux from VAT into the portal circulation" (Hocking. 2014). HIIT is an excellent way t...

Believe it or not a soon-to-be published study that was sponsored by a the German LBS and presented to the public two days ago found that 1 out of 20 German kids below the age of 14 thinks about having liposuction done (figures based on LBS Kinderbarometer. 2013). 5% that's the SuppVersity Figure of the Week and it's the percentage of German kids below the age of 14 years who are thinking about getting liposuction done. I am not sure, whether I should feel sorry or enraged... not about the kids obviously who probably feel miserably in their own skin, but for the parents, the food industry and the government with their "expert" advisers whispering into their left ear and the junk food industry lobbyists who are holding a megaphone to the politicians right ear and a razor-blade to their throat. I guess, I'll settle for both, feeling sorry for the kids and being mad at the adults. But enough of this let's get to some recent science news. Let's see....

Image 1: Without exercise and a healthy diet your fight against body fat is as desperate as Heracles fight against the Hydra without the help of his nephew Iolaus . After yesterday's blogpost on the Biggest Losers , who - upon closer scrutiny - were not so bad of, as many people in the health and fitness community would have it, we will take a look at a more convenient and (accordingly *sigh*) increasingly popular way to get rid of the nasty lovehandles: Liposuction, or the costly reduction of subcutaneous body fat with a hopefully 100% sterile vacuum cleaner ;-) Aside from the risks that are directly related to the operation, a group of Brazilian researchers right from the mecca of plastic surgery, Sao Paulo, has just published a paper (2 days ago, to be precise) on another, hitherto totally overlooked side effect that arose subsequent to a small-volume tumescent abdominal liposuction (1240.3ml) in the sedentary half of 36 physically inactive (i.e. not engaged in any form of ...
