You are not reading what I write. Human growth hormone is why humans grow vertically. I never said it has any effect on obesity. To grow vertically, you need to eat. But the cause of that vertical growth is not the eating. Eating is the effect. HGH is the cause of vertical growth in all humans. Saying anything else is bizarre. If we can explain vertical growth as a hormonal effect, and overeating as the result, than there is no a priori reason that a similar explanation is impossible for horizontal growth. In fact there is great evidence for exactly that explanation. Your other objections were equally tangential. You seem determined to discuss tangents rather than the central points. And what evidence do you have for your sugar hypothesis? Sugar is no different from other nutrients, hmm? So glucose and insulin aren't related to FFA uptake by the fat cells. And glycogen from insulin isn't a necessary molecule for that process? I'm curious as to what research has caused you to declare all the textbooks wrong. It must be compelling.
