Dr. Ravussin, Dr. Stadler, and their colleagues have made a remarkable discovery showing that cysteine regulates the transition from white to brown fat cells, opening new therapeutic avenues for treating obesity. I would like to congratulate this research team on uncovering this
"Consuming fewer calories is largely accepted as a way to improve health and lose weight, but a recently published study in Nature Metabolism points to a specific sulfur-containing amino acid cysteine as a key component in weight loss. In the study 'Cysteine depletion triggers

Compared with monotherapy or non-pharmacologic #WeightLoss, a multimodal #AntiObesityMedication regimen elicited more preoperative weight loss in high BMI patients. @_mikekachmar_ @kyle_lapenna @metabolic_knife @PSchauerMD

Nearly 1 million in US have extreme obesity BMI > 60 which is 200-250 lbs overweight and very debilitating. Nearly all of them are not getting effective treatment. Time to shed light on this most severe degree of obesity. @PBRCNews @WorldObesity @WHO @ASMBS @IfsoSecretariat
BMI ≥60 surged >200% since 2001 - the fastest rise among all obesity categories. A growing clinical & public health challenge. Prevention, treatment, infrastructure - and less stigma - are urgently needed. @ASMBS @PBRCNews @metabolic_knife @MdFlori @PSchauerMD

This study shows that BMI ≥60 kg/m2 is not only plausible, but is increasing at a rapid rate, warranting dedicated tracking in national health surveys

Every week I am seeing these pts in our weight clinics. You know what brings them in despite all the stigma & discrimination from the health care systems?
