Adipocyte (Fat cells) have a #memory of #obesity, hinting at why it’s hard to keep #weight off. Even after drastic #weightloss, the shift in #epigenome (gene activity) of #fat cell seems to render them incapable of their normal function. Published in Nature 11/18/24. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Eating #ultraprocessedfoods raises the #risk of #obesity by 55%, #sleep #disorders by 41%, development of type 2 #diabetes by 40% and the risk of #depression by 20%. A dangerous display by national #leaders. Very reason we need #healthcare experts leading the way of #health departments.
