This is surprising to me. Do you have a link to a definitive study? Seems it would be easy to pinpoint what is going for lab animals since they have a controlled diet and environment
- kragen 4y agoi don't; i got the assertion from some slatestarcodex post iirc please let me know if you find it or if i'm mistaken
- twic 4y agoIt's mentioned in the A Chemical Hunger series of blog posts, which were on Slate Star Codex at some point: https://slimemoldtimemold.com/2021/07/13/a-chemical-hunger-part-iii-environmental-contaminants/ https://slimemoldtimemold.com/2021/07/13/a-chemical-hunger-p... The paper is linked to and discussed a bit here: https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/52923/have-lab-animals-that-live-under-a-controlled-diet-become-more-obese-over-the-la https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/52923/have-lab-... I had a quick look, and couldn't find any other papers or commentary confirming or refuting this.
