I appreciate your open-mindedness. At the same time, I did a face-plant when I read that you still believe the exhaustively-disproven notion that weight gain is calories in vs calories burned. Oy vey. And I'd love to hear your rationale for why newborns should be injected with the hep B vaccine.

Indeed, there is a lot more to it than calories in and calories out since not all calories are created equal. Simple sugars are just bad news.

"The study suggests a correlationтАФnot necessarily causal tieтАФbetween the pace of weight regain and epigenetic markers for those with a history of obesity. These molecular differences remained even after stomach reduction and gastric bypass surgery, with no known mechanism to reverse them. Researchers suggest their findings may emphasize the value of prevention. Read the full study here."

> notion that weight gain is calories in vs calories burned

Yes, but if consume 3 times more calories than you burn, there is no escape from the obvious consequences, even if conversion rate is significantly below 100%.

My favorite *reductio ad absurdum* of calories in, calories out is mass in, mass out.
