Bioengineering a virus a to infect visceral adipocytes -- a good idea?


Recommended Posts

But then you can eat all the butter-rich, cream-filled desserts w/out suffering ill health consequences. Right?

 

Possibly; but probaly wrong.

Evolution might have got it right over all those millennia. I might have to eat all those desserts just to keep alive.

Are you paying?

Because visceral fat isn't what *causes* high cholesterol and insulin resistance, it's merely correlated with it.

Indeed, you would just end up diabetic with coronary heart disease, massive artheromas, an inevitable stroke or myocardial infarction. Not to mention the less severe digestion problems that would most likely occur, such as constipation and build up of excess material in your large intestine.
