Weight loss relapse associated with exposure to perfluoroalkylate substances
Whilst I imagine that this paper is technically sound, the entire discussion around weight loss on HN is utterly bizarre.<p>So there are pollutants that mildly increase appetite or decrease basal metabolic rate.<p>If you&#x27;re gaining weight and don&#x27;t want to, the knobs of diet and exercise are still there, they don&#x27;t go away simply because the number of calories you need changes a bit.<p>Fast food and ready meals are in plastic containers. There is almost certainly a link between those and obesity. But you can eat both and be thin, or muscular and lean, or any body type you want really, if you modulate their use.<p>People budget all of the time with their money, but ask them to do it with food and it&#x27;s like you have two heads.
