Researchers at Augusta University in Georgia have found a way to build muscle mass. Nothing gets added to the body. Instead, it’s subtracted.

The researchers bred lean and obese mice, both of which were unable to produce a protein called myostatin, which inhibits muscle development. As a result, both the fat and lean mice gained muscle mass.

Just as important, most of the fat mice didn’t show symptoms of heart and artery disease, or metabolic markers indicating diabetes.

Studies have shown that obese people produce more myostatin than thin people, implicating myostatin as not only a cause of obesity but also as the means by which it perpetuates itself, regardless of people’s devotion to exercise and “eating skinny.”

TRENDPOST: Scientists are discovering the biochemical causes of a range of health conditions. They claim these breakthroughs will eventually lead to relatively simple cures and prevention without drugs or adoption of extreme lifestyle changes. They project the bio-based treatments will begin to be available for some conditions by 2030.

Good luck until then. In the meantime, consider whole health healing.

All matters in balance. That is, we are just starting to grasp the minute, how the molecules work within the body, which ones are used to signal, which signals they carry, when there are too many, and when there are too few and what condition or quantity relates to health or syndrome or disease.

We are in the revolution of tying all of these discoveries into the whole of the knowledge of how our body functions, how they all act within the system.

We have not even reliably determined which model of nutrition is correct because we do not yet correctly understand how our body digests and uses food. A growing body of research is starting to regard the ingestion of added sucrose (table sugar which is glucose and fructose} and added fructose (from High Fructose Corn Syrup) as injurious to our bodies and our health when it is ingested more commonly than a day a week. Evidence is mounting that sugar is a food adulterant with the greatest affect in the cause of metabolic disorders.

This does not mean that other substances are not adulterants with health consequences.

And now, tie all this in to our growing understanding of genetic and biological process function of our bodies. We are acquiring knowledge on how best to regard and treat and care for ourselves for our own best health by our own individual action once we have the resource of accurate scientific knowledge commonly available from which to construct best public policy.

Expect a huge shift in public policy towards the use of sugar within our food supply. Evidence is growing and methodology is proving out that the universal addition of sugar to almost all our food is the major driving force of the current metabolic disorder epidemic, the increase in diabetes, the increase in non alcoholic fatty liver disease, the increase in obesity.

Such a change will cause huge political problems and tensions in our Agricultural policy, our public health policy, our regulation of insurance, health system policy. food availability policy. Huge political wars will occur as different actors try to avoid, evade or shift penalty or loss of revenue and favored status due to the realization that Cane sugar, beet sugar, and high fructose corn syrup is not a healthy substance for human or animal diet and elimination or great restriction will greatly reduce the health cost of chronic disease and increase the general level of health of the population.

Remember, smoking within buildings was not banned until building owners realized that cigarette tar was causing the need for frequent replacement of ventilation motors and cleaning of ductwork and building filters, that is, an avoidable level of high cost cause to the buildings HVAC equipment by allowing tenants to smoke within the building.

Once a critical percentage of the population realizes that the collapse of our health systems due to the growing metabolic disorder epidemic (diabetes, non alcoholic fatty liver disease, obesity etc.) can be avoided by the elimination or great reduction of sugar within our consumed food and beverages, that reduction will occur.

Otherwise we face the treatment of millions of persons for decades of ever increasing cost and shorted productive lifespan besides worse health and lifespan for future generations
