Problem is if fat is healthy , maybe they have less of the B' that
can
harm . Thats is if fat ppl are better at absorbing carbs in
intestines
less carbs flow into colon , thus they are healthier ppl .
Thin ppl are obviously mising the ability to absorb carbs and other
stuff . Carbs are converted to oil ( cholesterol ) easily .
Most health problems are traced to unabsorbed carbs , not taken
up in duedenum and must go some place , so its the colon .
This is bad .
Its so unintuitive .
Sci American " Targetting HBP ( the acid resistant
bacteria in stomach of most ppl ,
could expose them to esophagus cancer !!
So dont take too much ant acid ...
