Belly Fat and Long Life

[Catherine8raw]

more sugary diet and high insulin causes the central obesity. Eat low carb, meat/fish veg and you'll be OK

[100hundert]

A drug to redistribute the fat in the body? Yep, sounds like the most resonable solution to this problem, because obviously you can´t earn money by simply telling people to lose weight.

[carloscavalcanti]

Bear in mind, it´s not a drug about NOT gaining fat. It´s about "redistributing" the fat on the body.

Of course. How else would they make us feel bad everyday, if they can´t say we are too fat and poor?

But you CAN be happy and leave it all behind, with the new Nissan, wearing the new Nike and eating all you can eat at MCDonalds! So there you are, fat and poor... again, lol.

[loraly11]

Goodness. America's going fat.

[haszK]

Sad but true! I hate this about America!

[mckemckenzie]

our insurance could cover the nip & tuck of our girth if they cared.

[circa1960]

Your stomach doesn't care about you!

[Judzfell]

aren't we funny...

[MIZZIJR]

spirit is in the blood.

[Someguywhodoesstuff]

... Is this supposed to surprize me?

[WinkWinkHintHint]

Here's an idea.... Don't get fat. Mind blowing, I know.

[MekinoseHasVideos]

hahaha nice comment!

[AngelicAcid453]

mice are different from people, just cause it worked for there doesnt mean it will work for us.

[Jibbie49]

I better idea is to get these fat people to stop eating all the junk food they do and lose the weight.

[karatekid984230]

yeah...

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

Instead of more drugs, how about limiting how much food people can buy at the supermarket? Seems like a more practical way to go. If you're overweight, you should be limited in what you can buy until you get down to a healthy weight.

A better solution than drugs.

[ladythecoolest]

oh yes because humans are like rats

this can work

wtf

[bphutchins]

congratulations, you win the "I'm a fucking retard" reward of the day

[indagdnm]

It was said right at the end that the REAL focus is to develope a drug to redistribute the fat cells. That's what this society needs? ANOTHER FUCKING DRUG!!!

[icelez]

Ok Im confused how does a Rat represent the most Complex ("Mammal"<--Lie) hmmm ummm Human on Earth's life span

This is what Science gets us? Hundred of new diseases and bio warfare every year

[TomT48]

iceman,

If these scientists did their life span studies on humans, their grandchildren could publish the findings and two generations would be deprived of the benefits of the research.

p.s.

If you are still confused, consider continuing your education.

[icelez]

yet more and more diseases have come up and more people are dieing from medications and these new diseases are not found in even third world countries hmmmmm

you need to do some research on why we are trying to rid the earth of 80% of it's population drink up that flouride sceintists say it's good for you yet it's a waste product in other industries

[bphutchins]

probably because people in third world countries die in their 40s and 50s, so don't develop these diseases... dummy

[icelez]

the oldest woman lives where again?

[BayerLexan]

Environmental factors do play a role in longevity, but a more significant factor is the individuals genetic makeup.

And rats and humans are quite similar. We share most all the same organ systems, and really only vary in structural forms.

[icelez]

"individuals genetic makeup."

You know the goldfish and bowl theory?

[BayerLexan]

Nope, and I couldn't readily find it with a google search. Please elaborate.

[icelez]

A fish will grow as large as the space it has around it

[moragree]

Yeah, I had a goldfish once that I kept in my bathtub and it grew four feet long. It was hell putting up with not taking showers, but it was worth it. :V

[WallEveLove]

lmao

[bphutchins]

Israel, a developed industrialized nation... lol. and even if she lived in Zimbabwe or something it doesn't matter, its' the AVERAGE life expectancy that matters. and people in third world countries die in their 50s if their lucky! usually much younger, so the comparison is moot

[icelez]

depends which lady you found there are more claimed oldest people i have not actually looked up who's there now

[babyg166]

wow stop testing on animals dumbshit.

[lamundson88]

Maybe they should try moving belly fat around to the back of their ass and see happens.

[Edgelon]

The most we ever advanced in the understanding of the brain was during the holocaust. Very tragic and unfortunate things happened. HUMAN testing was one of those things. But as a result, today we are able to use those leads to further advance. Now I don't think something like that will happen again so the pets and animals are the best bet. Sorry but I'd like my great grand children to live in a world with better medical tech. than I did so off with the furry heads LOL my cats is RIGHT here also.

[StuftAnimalLove]

53 alternatives to testing dude :)

[Edgelon]

But I want to be 100% sure that what I will use in the future is ok and half of that is simulation of the effects of a drug or procedure. The other half is my own research.

[Edgelon]

Umm wow. This is planet earth. Everything on this planet does what it can to preserve its self and own kind. Humans dominate because we are the most evolved. We test to preserve our own kind. If you were in the jungle a lion would eat you without a second thought. Hence I understand where your going with the ban animal testing thing since we are of higher intelligence and can use alternatives.

[StuftAnimalLove]

god didnt put animals on earth to be tested u retard. and eating something makes no difference THATS what animals are for. not for rubbing a fregranced lotion all over their eyes so that some snobby lady can have cheesy smelling hands. and apperently u didnt under stand the part of "53 alternatives to animal testing"

[VlogOfTheMathGuy]

And since when do you get to decide what animals are "for"? What if they aren't "for" anything? What if they're just there? After all, nobody asks what is the purpose of a rock, or of an asteroid, or of molybdenum. Would you care to inform me as to what is the purpose of molybdenum? And just because there are 53 alternatives to animal testing (is a high number supposed to impress me?) it doesn't necessarily mean they work as well. They could all be crappy unreliable methods, for all I know.

[StuftAnimalLove]

Because animals are for companionship and food. :)

[magana559]

rats are good snake food.

[StuftAnimalLove]

snakes are good garden hoses.

[magana559]

Didnt Know That You Should Try A Black Mamba Or A Green Mamba And Do Try And Get bit. :) Let Me Know how That Works out For you!

[Barboy0]

or you could just stop being fat and problem solved

[addictfan]

yup that pretty much sums it up. but its hard for some people to do.

[VlogOfTheMathGuy]

That IS the problem! How to stop being fat.

[StuftAnimalLove]

BAN ANIMAL TESTING! America has ONLY found 3 other alternatives yet britan found OVER 53!!! Dont be lazy, treat animals with the same respect as humans, even if they are lower in status! How dare anyone torture those poor rats and deprive them of the attention and companionship they deserve! Rats and thousands of other test animals Are more intellegent and compasionate than we give the credit for! you wouldnt let them do this to a puppy would You?!

[maria0863]

ur right!!

im w. u on that one!

[StuftAnimalLove]

What else bugs me is some people think animals dont need the same treatment because god made them less significant but they are still gods creations and need to be treated with the same respect you would give to any other man or creature. And scientists Think they can explain everything and anything through animals but what have they proved?! what have they learned?! animals are different from humans and dont respond to test like humans because they ARENT HUMANS! ... im finished. ^.^

[micaelgerosa]

if they found a cure for some disease i would by them a puppy! cut the bullshit ok! without animal testing many of the drugs and cosmetics you have at home wouldn't excist.

I would love to see a bullshitter like you choose to die instead of using a drug that was tested on animals.

[StuftAnimalLove]

HUMANS are the only things who get the same effects as HUMANS u retard, so before u tell to stop saving innocent lives you need to go get at least an elementary school education because apperentaly you lack all basic skills in critical thinking and social skills.

[micaelgerosa]

Yeah, I gotta go back to school and all those retarded scientists. Including all the retards that produced vacines buy using cows and horses. I'm so fucking retarded that I actually belive that snake anti-venom is created by inoculating a horse with it. I mean, if the effects are differents then why use them, right? Sorry, Einstein!

So, if your so concerned about animals safety why won't you volunteer yourself to sciences research? With your grand IQ you just might be able to replace a jackass!

[StuftAnimalLove]

53 alternatives "jackass" :)

[jungenbum]

No more animal testing = no more progress in biotechnology. Think of all of the useful and safe products you have now because animal testing.

[StuftAnimalLove]

Aperently you didnt under stand the part of

"53 alternatives to animal testing".

[retroarcadefan]

They are rats... Yes, they are much much less important than us. There were no puppies in that story, don't make up stuff to try to make us feel sorry for a few rats that they actually helped to live longer.

[StuftAnimalLove]

those rats went under an unessecary surgery that prooved something that was long known BEFORE this procedure ever took place. COMMON SENSE.

[retroarcadefan]

I'll concede the point that some of the whales shown in the video should know better. How many double quarter pounders with cheese does it take to get that round? Wow. But they are still only using rats in that video, at least you could admit that point. No puppies to be found, unless they are inside the walking rotundarsauruses.

[StuftAnimalLove]

Um EXCUSE me? I dont believe i ever stated that they put puppies there. and to some people rats are just as good companions as a cat or dog.

[retroarcadefan]

You tried to equate rats and dogs. That's a bit of a stretch.

[StuftAnimalLove]

They are all domesticated pets arent they?

[micaelgerosa]

Maybe in your filthy whole rats are pets...in my house they are PESTS.. just like you in this video!

[StuftAnimalLove]

rats are only dirty if they are undomestic. apperently u should go back to school.

[MissVegas2006]

Apparently you need to go back to school.

[StuftAnimalLove]

Um, excuse me?

[BayerLexan]

Actually as a pet rat owner, they are fairly comparable to having a pet dog. So it's not a stretch to compare them. But as for animal testing on them, with the strict laws we have now, most animals, if the facility is inspected, are kept in very good conditions, and the information gained from testing on them is, to me, worth it. I don't have much problem with it, as long as they are treated moderately well. Fuck, I've seen pet shops that have them in squalid conditions, as their not regulated.

[micaelgerosa]

Yeah COMMON SENSE is the answer! We don't need to prove anything before using it in people. The church thoughted us that. When we learned the world was the center of the universe, for instance. After all the suns spins around us, i can see it every day. Common sense thoughted us so much! Why prove something, anyway??

[StuftAnimalLove]

other ways to test and i dont see how u could have tested an animal to figure that the world wasnt the center of the universe XD

[BIGNICK10188]

Dude I agree with you, but if you're going to make an argument, it's best to use proper english and spelling. Common sence didn't thought us anything. It taught us something. Don't blow up at a 14 year old girl for not being as intelligent as you, if you write like a fifth grader. Your sentences are so horribly constructed that it's hard to understand what they mean. SPEAK ENGLISH!!! Sorry it's my pet peeve.

[micaelgerosa]

Oh my God! I've just realized that I waste my time arguing with a fucking 14 year old teenager that is a freak about stuffed animals.. FUCKING TOYS!!!!

She is gonna change the world by saving toys!

Oh God! I'm ashamed for wasting my time with this... 14 years old, has no knoledge of biology whatsoever. Fucking juniorhigh. That's why she is a fucking moron. I hope that's the only reason...

[StuftAnimalLove]

and u have a problem with what i like? atleast i have a hobby. and has no knowledge of biology? ok try me. go ahead. and if u think YOUR so smart then what does the following chemical equation come out to be - 6.04 x 10 to the 24th power = what? well go ahead and answer. im waiting.

[micaelgerosa]

if you were trying to represent a "mol" that's 6,02 x 10²³

but whatever...

[StuftAnimalLove]

very good im proud :)

[BIGNICK10188]

That's chemistry not biology. Oops!

[VlogOfTheMathGuy]

A rat is not a puppy. Stop with the bullshit--they were not torturing the rats. Torturing a rat would be holding it under water or tying it down and inflicting painful injury on it. Hell, if I were a rat I'd love to be fed an all-you-can-eat diet for life. Sweet ticket to an easy life! Those rats have a more comfortable life than some humans do! So don't give me some bullshit about the rats being "tortured".

[VlogOfTheMathGuy]

Rats may not be identical to humans, but they are similar enough that research on them tells scientists useful information that could very likely not be gleaned from non-mammalian tests. Alternatives to animal testing don't necessarily have the same usefulness. I would rather therapies be tested on rats first than by testing on humans! Why does no one campaign against the "cruelty" of human testing? To me, humans are far more important and valuable than rats!

[StuftAnimalLove]

Tests with no benefit as so call "experiments" have no right to be followed through on animals.

[StuftAnimalLove]

Excuse me? Are you trying to say rats aren't companions, loving, mammals, covered in fur, have different breeds, can be trained, can be cared for, are domestic and so on? And just to Q you in on things, yes it IS torture because these things are unnecessary and involuntary.

[BayerLexan]

I have rats as pets, and don't see any problem with legitimate testing on them. The testing in the video seems to be a legitimate study. Most all credible researchers have to follow strict laws on the treatment and husbandry of test animals. You really seem to be making too much of this video and this example of animal testing.

Animals bred for research are kept and treated infinitely better than most all domestic food animals (cows, chickens, pigs,...) which are bred on a vastly larger scale.

[StuftAnimalLove]

You have a good point until you started talking about how they get good care. They do have clean facilities BUT the point is they are still being tested on with experiments that could easily kill them. Although this procedure was far far far from the worst, I'm upset at the entire Idea of animal testing. And also I would like to add that the only reason I'm "making to much" of this situation is because animals rely on others to be their voice. This is how I feel, but I respect your opinion.

[ghost8605]

how can someone allow themselves to become a disgusting fat turd to begin with?

[micaelgerosa]

you got me!
