Episode 9 looks at a cause of obesity and diabetes: endotoxin, or lipopolysaccharide. There will be at least one more podcast on the topic, but this one looks at a number of rodent studies creating diabetes, obesity and other markers of the metabolic syndrome. I was quite surprised at the strength of data collated over dozens of studies on this topic during the initial research. Some of the experiments in animals are not done in humans but they have more descriptive power. In the next episode on the iTunes stream I'll look at a number of studies and papers related to humans.
I'll be uploading another podcast for patreon supporters pledging 5USD per month or more on how to mitigate endotoxin, at least the factors I came across in this research.
The referenced transcript of this podcast along with other patreon only podcasts are uploaded for patreon supporters pledging 5USD per month or more.
