Before the profound weight loss (A) you don't see any of the glucose sucking and fad burning brown fat depots (black spots in B) on the neck of the in (B) 'foermerly obese', now only 'overweight' subject (also take a look at how the visceral fat in the abdominal region in (A) is actually pushing the organs upwards; img Vijgen. 2012) Those of you who have listened to yesterday's show will have noticed that despite its flow the number of things you can discuss in a 1h podcast is simply very limited, to say the least. This is also why these Friday posts are probably never going to be simple summaries of the SuppVersity Science Round Up of the day before. The same is true for today and still I decided not to use the allegedly lame logo I did for the first two installments, but provide you with some 'real science' evidence of the absence of brown adipose tissue on the obese and it's magical reappearance after shedding 100lbs+ subsequent to a ga...

Image 1: Chemical structure of tributyltin; the organotin is a common ingredient in pesticides, anti-fungals and marine paints Although large parts of the industry won't concede to it, many of the invisible pollutants of our "post-industrial" age are just as, or even more dangerous than the nasty air and water pollutants of the Industrial Revolution. One of these invisible killers is the organotin, tributyltin (TBT) . It has been long established that TBT exposure during fetal life promotes adipogenesis and predispositions to a multitude of health problems in later life ( Grün and Blumberg, 2006 ) . Other than in other environmental toxins, such as Bisphenol A, it has been established only very recently that TBT may act as an estrogen receptor agonist, as well - in fact, in previous (low-dose) studies ( Lissimachou. 2006 ; Mortensen. 2007 ; Zhang. 2009 ) the exact opposite appeared to be the case. ...
