"Bipolar patients who are obese are significantly less likely to respond to lithium than those of normal weight, a researcher said here.Maybe they should look into schizophrenia since the fatties are eating for at least two.
And those who have an elevated body mass index (BMI) but aren't obese have an intermediate likelihood of responding to the drug, according to Cynthia Calkin, M.D., of Dalhousie University in Halifax. The differences in response by BMI were significant at P=0.01."
Fitness Watch is your site for making sense of fitness advice.
"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
