And Big Food — which has little interest in selling broccoli or beans — would have you believe that if you expend enough energy to work off those 100 calories, it simply doesn’t matter. There’s an increasing body of evidence, however, that calories from highly processed carbohydrates like white flour (and of course sugar) provide calories that the body treats differently, spiking both blood sugar and insulin and causing us to retain fat instead of burning it off. In other words, all calories are not alike. Read the rest of this column here. Blocking molecule may keep fat cells slim Posted about 22 hours ago by Futurity to Holy Kaw! By removing a mysterious molecule from fat cells, University of Michigan scientists were able to create mice they didn't gain weight no matter how rich their diet.
