Re: Obesity Why are we gettinG Fat? :epizza:
[QUOTE=HydrogenBond]Another angle on obesity is the efficiency of the digestive system.
The rate of absroption is also dependant on how fine the food is chewed or preprocessed.
If their body is very efficient, this will slow the whole works, maybe even giving enough time to digest some otherwise indigestable things.
If one at a laxitive after every meal they would gain low food value from food.
[QUOTE]
I agree
That means the fattest people have the most efficient digestive system
-all else being equal.
I think laxatives do more harm than good.
In the first half of last century it was common for children to be given laxatives to "clean them out' or 'keep them healthy'.
The philosophy still lingers on in colonic irrigation.
People who suffered this regime as a child often have stuffed, slow digestive systems now.
