Re: Possible contributors to obesity or weight gain

Possibly:

Endocrine disrupting organotin compounds are potent inducers of adipogenesis in vertebrates."TBT {tributyltin chloride} represents, to our knowledge, the first example of an environmental endocrine disrupter that promotes adipogenesis through RXR and PPARgamma activation. Developmental or chronic lifetime exposure to organotins may therefore act as a chemical stressor for obesity and related disorders. PMID: 16613991 "

Perhaps IGF-1 in milk overbalances adiponectin? Just a guess.

[ ] Possible contributors to obesity or weight gain

Hi everyone! What is an example of an "endocrine disrupter"? Doesanyone know? And what foods contain them? , a University of Alabama biostatistician, invited 19other scientists in the United States, Canada and Italy to work on thereport.They looked at more than 100 studies on potential contributors toobesity besides diet and exercise, and concluded there was at leastsome support for 10:1. Inadequate sleep. (Average sleep amounts have fallen, and manystudies tie sleep deprivation to weight gain.)2. Endocrine disrupters, which are substances in some foods that mayalter fats in the body.3. Nice temperatures. (Air conditioning and heating limit caloriesburned from sweating and shivering.)4. Fewer people smoking. (Less appetite suppression.)5. Medicines that cause weight gain.6. Population changes. (More middle-agers and Hispanics, who havehigher obesity rates.)7. Older birth moms. (That correlates with heavier children.)8. Genetic influences during pregnancy.9. Darwinian natural selection. (Fat people out-survive skinny ones.)10. Assortative mating, or "like mating with like," as putsit. Translation: fat people procreating with others of the same bodytype, gradually skewing the population toward the heavy end. http://www.azstarnet.com/news/135388
