balance
Learning alot about obesity lately. Recently, I heard Dr. Jeffrey Friedman speak about obesity. Among the thoughts I had at the end of listening to him for two hours were that I wonder if scientists tend to dwell on the exceptions rather than rule. Even he proposed that maybe up to 14% of obese people may have neural pathways that are dysfunctional. Yet, his most interesting hypothesis was that the body attempts to maintain homeostasis and we enter a losing battle when we try to attempt to change the balance. So, for those dieters out there, love not hate your body.
On another topic, I came across a Stanford researcher today who patented his product three years after his paper was published. I'm a little curious to know why it took him so long to patent since I have to say it's definitely innovative.
