And of course insulin resistance is the number one problem with visceral fat, right?

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
And of course insulin resistance is the number one problem with visceral fat, right?
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
we know that visceral fat in humans and probably in mice correlates negatively with insulin sensitivity and metabolic dysfunction right
now there are two types of being overweight there is subcutaneous adipose tissue which is the adipose tissue on your belly that you can pinch and there's adipose tissue that is inside of your peritoneum in your belly that is called visceral adipose tissue i've done a previous podcast with dr sean o'mara talking about visceral adipose how you can look at it there's even a device out now that i may look into that you can do in your home to look at your visceral adipose tissue and that is the worst kind of fat to have and it's a great indicator of metabolic unhealth
that fatty tissue around the organs directly within the peritoneum is highly correlated with uh insulin resistance more specifically metabolic dysfunction
it's not fat per se that is the proxy even for metabolic dysfunction in general it's this visceral pool effect
