Can Bacteria Melt Fat Into Thin Air?

 

bacteria_smApparently a research study has shown that bacteria in genetically engineered mice at the University of California can melt fat inside these mice into thin air.

 

The researchers discovered some bacteria such as E. Coli can burn fat completely into carbon dioxide, rather than converting fat into sugar. 

This essentially means mice are free from dangerous side effects that promote high blood sugar and diabetes. 

 

Under a high fat diet the mice stayed lean and with lower cholesterol levels and lower fat levels. 

 

Interesting research, but what does genetically engineered mean?

 

What does it take for us humans to become genetically engineered?

 

Time will tell if this research can be duplicated with humans. 

 

Might be kind of hard to get the review boards to approve a study where they are injecting E. Coli into humans as we have seen what E. Coli can do to a human.

 

Leave your thoughts and comments below.  I would love to hear what you think about this research study.

    Fat can’t be converted to sugar. When you run out of sugar & use fat for energy, you produce ketones – as on the Atkins Diet. Some proteins can be converted to sugar, though.

    Women can get cystitis, caused by E. coli in the bladder. E. coli can also cause lethal infections in the gut.

    Interesting, indeed! The problem is the we really don’t know what ELSE it’s doing yet – it’s too early to tell. I’m all for experimentation and research, but we need to be careful not to have the hubris to think we have the whole story when we’re just seeing the tip of the iceberg.

    Very True!!

    This type of research is something we need to pay attention to, but just like when everything thought egg yolks were causing all the cholesterol problems and then further research found that it was saturated fats causing most of the problem and not the cholesterol in egg yolks.

    Always pay attention and continue to look for further research to help base your own decisions.

    I hope it works, but it kind of danger to do research of this type on “Human”
    You may lose the Lbs. but at what price.
