Could High Insulin Make You Fat? Mouse Study Says Yes

Bulls**t to the max.

When we eat too much, obesity may develop as a result of chronically high insulin levels, not the other way around. That's according to new evidence in mice reported in the December 4th Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press publication, which challenges the widespread view that rising insulin is a secondary consequence of obesity and insulin resistance.

The new study helps to solve this chicken-or-the-egg dilemma by showing that animals with persistently lower insulin stay trim even as they indulge themselves on a high-fat, all-you-can-eat buffet. The findings come as some of the first direct evidence in mammals that circulating insulin itself drives obesity, the researchers say.

Note that the prerequisite is overconsuming Calories.

In its absence, there is no weight gain.

This hogwash about insulin is a red herring.

It is all about the Calories.
