That's what I noticed to be the most controversial part too.Thanks @ickihun
The thing that jumped out when I read the link was this paragraph:
In this study, the researchers fed mice a fast food-like diet rich in fat for four weeks, which is known to cause microglia to expand in number and to trigger local inflammation within the MBH. Mice fed such a diet also eat more food, burn fewer calories, and gain more weight compared to mice eating a more healthy, low-fat diet.
It highlights quite a few things to me
- the researchers were testing mice, not humans
- the mice were fed 'a fast food-like diet rich in fat for 4 weeks' and we all know that fast food is rich in carbs AND fat, don't we? Yet from that point on in the article, the diet is constantly referred to as 'rich in fat', not rich in 'carbs and fat'.
- there was a strong assumption that eating a low-fat diet is healthy
There is a lot there that I disagree with, but I don't know whether that is because the research was set up badly, or the person who wrote the article did so without understanding what they were saying, but from what I have just read I wouldn't compare my human body's reactions on a ketogenic diet to a lab mouse's reactions on a high fat, high carb 'fast food-like' diet. It is like comparing chalk and cheese. Or Stork margarine and organic grass fed butter. Or comparing Pop Tarts with home made low carb muffins, fresh homegrown strawberries and organic clotted cream...
I believe that the surgery cits off the part of the stomach where ghrelin is produced. They are the hormones that tell us we are hungry. Switch them off and our desire for food is reduced.I just watched the documentary by Michael Mosely on how the digestive system works. Apparently it has its own brain to organise how we digest food. One section of the film talks about how bypass surgery impacts messages to the brain telling us we are full and this is why the surgery leads to weight loss.

But some patients gain that hunger back and cheat with high carb food which then causes cravings so overwelming they risk splitting the staples in their egg size stomach. Gulp!!!I believe that the surgery cits off the part of the stomach where ghrelin is produced. They are the hormones that tell us we are hungry. Switch them off and our desire for food is reduced.
OMG that makes me wanna double up with sympathy pains. Carbs are evil and having gonethrough all the pain leading up and through surgery it does make me wonder why people do it to themselvesBut some patients gain that hunger back and cheat with high carb food which then causes cravings so overwelming they risk splitting the staples in their egg size stomach. Gulp!!!
Very dangerous.
