Functions of fat

[Ridethelightningbarefoot]

I was listening to alex kikels beast radio. The guest mentioned fat causing cns rejuvenation. Has anyone else heard this? He said fat and protein do this. I have been researching fat for a long time and have never heard this.

I don't have a good response to your question, but I will say that nothing the human body can do really surprises me anymore (unless someone proves humans can fly and blast a kamehameha). It's ultra complex and no one REALLY understand how it works.

There are many people that understand individual systems of the body, but not much work has been done to understand how any 2 those systems function together, much less all of those systems at once.

I guess my point is that I see "fat rejuvenating cns" as totally plausible.

The field of neuroendocrinology showing interconnection between the endocrine and nervous systems is growing rapidly. Human nutrition doesn't have the breadth or depth of novel scientific findings contrasted with neuroendocrinology.

So with podcasters like Kikel, they need to produce entertainment. They'll have entertaining guests, which might be some wacky doctor or eccentric type with an esoteric interest. So this guest might have been studying something like rodent research or in vitro research on brown adipose tissue (BAT) where adipokines (which are an endocrine organ) function in thermogenesis and have some CNS functions relying on mitochondrial FAT oxidation and uncoupling PROTEIN I. How does he relate this curious fact to the audience, but to say, eat your protein and fat because they REJUVENATE the CNS? It's entertaining, interesting, and on some myopic level true. Also, myelin sheath formation/maintenance. Dietary fat is incontrovertibly important for endocrine function. CNS "rejuvenation," a bit of a stretch.

For me, I read an actual quote from Kikel where he claimed there were hundreds of growth hormone isoforms naturally produced in humans. There are 2. That's all I need to know, he is a pure entertainer!

No he always says there is only two and talks about em quite a bit.

Given that 22kDa GH is "evolutionarily optimized," and no GH isoform nor peptide analogue can match its GHR torsional force, Kikel is definitely pulling shit out of his ass on GH.

I think he's a good entertainer, I don't dislike him, I respect anyone that supports him. It's just that... unless he has learned something that disproves the fairly strong theory of its being evolutionarily optimized, I would like to see some evidence before buying The Somatropic Bible.
