Many beauty lovers claim that they are either thin or dead!
But it is not so easy to get thinner:
Exercise is tiring and slow to lose weight.
Liposuction is painful and dangerous to lose weight.
Dieting to lose weight is weak, greedy and rebounding…
If I tell you now: if you want to be thin, you don’t have to die, just eat excrement… would you like it?
Don’t be too busy hitting me first, read the article before you start work.
It is said that eating [excrement] can lose weight?
Recently, Massachusetts General Hospital applied for a clinical trial on fecal bacteria transplantation to lose weight. The purpose of this clinical trial is to study the influence of intestinal bacteria on body weight change, and to achieve the effect of weight loss by transplanting bacteria from healthy thin stool into fat intestine [1]. Simply put, fat people are allowed to eat the treated thin stool to achieve the purpose of weight loss.
This study is a randomized double-blind trial. It is estimated that 26 fat people with height and body mass index (BMI) greater than 30 will be included. They will be randomly divided into fecal bacteria transplantation group receiving thin fecal bacteria and blank control group for a 12-week clinical trial. The observation indexes are weight changes, insulin resistance changes, etc.
In fact, similar tests were done on mice long before human tests were carried out:
One study divided [intestinal aseptic] mice into two groups. One group was injected with the feces of fat people and the other group was injected with the feces of thin people. After giving the same feeding conditions for a period of time, it was found that the mice given the feces of fat people bacteria were significantly fatter than the other group [2]. Similar studies also injected the feces of fat mice and thin mice, and obtained the same effect [3].
Why can eating excrement lose weight?
This makes it necessary to mention intestinal microecology.
Our intestinal tract is not sterile, but is occupied by 100 trillion bacteria, viruses, fungi and other microorganisms colonized in the intestinal tract, which constitute intestinal microecology [4].
These bacteria and the microecology they construct in the intestinal tract play an important role in human health:
- The balance of intestinal microecology can maintain the stability of normal flora and protect the body from foreign bacteria. Enterobacteria participate in body metabolism and produce short-chain fatty acids, vitamin K, vitamin B and other important nutrients. It can also promote the development of immune organs and the establishment of immune response [5]; In addition to the common inflammatory bowel disease of digestive system, irritable bowel syndrome, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and even Alzheimer’s disease are also considered to be closely related to intestinal microecology. Other studies believe that intestinal microecology will also affect emotions and even affect people’s thinking and behavior.
The benefits of having a healthy intestinal flora to the human body cannot be detailed. Now many scientists are studying the therapeutic effects of fecal bacteria transplantation on different diseases.
At present, fecal bacteria transplantation is mainly used in diarrhea and pseudomembranous enteritis related to Clostridium difficile infection. It is reported that the remission rate of fecal bacteria transplantation in the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection can reach 81%. In addition, fecal bacteria transplantation is also used in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), nonalcoholic fatty liver and other diseases related to intestinal microecological imbalance [6].
Can’t you be poisoned by eating stool?
Stool, which is human or animal excrement, emits disgusting odor and is said to contain many toxins excreted by the human body.
Can you be poisoned by eating stool?
Stool is not so poisonous. The composition of normal people’s stool is similar:
Fresh feces include 75% water, and the remaining solid substances include 84% ~ 93% organic solids.
These organic solids include 25% ~ 54% bacteria, 2% ~ 25% protein or nitrogen substances, 25% carbohydrate and 2% ~ 15% undigested lipid.
The rest are phosphate (calcium salt or iron salt), intestinal secretions, a small amount of intestinal epithelial cells and mucus [7].
Of course, these ratios will change with factors such as diet and weight.
Only the bacteria were used in the weight loss experiment.
In the above experiment, scientists isolated and extracted bacteria from the normal feces of healthy and thin people for the great cause of weight loss. Theoretically, there are almost only [clean, green and pollution-free] intestinal flora in this.
It has been a long time since feces were used to treat diseases.
Long before the study of intestinal flora, people have already recorded feces to treat diseases.
In the records of traditional medicine, Ge Hong’s < < Behind the Elbow > > recorded the treatment of food poisoning, diarrhea, fever and dying patients [8]. There was also a record of using human feces to treat diseases in the < Compendium of Materia Medica > written by Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty.
In modern medicine, the earliest application was in 1958. Several Americans used fecal bacteria transplantation to cure 4 patients with pseudomembranous enteritis whose condition was very critical and antibiotics, hormones and probiotics were ineffective. However, this was not widely valued at that time [9].
It was not until more than 20 years later that with the in-depth understanding of Clostridium difficile in antibiotic-related diarrhea and pseudomembranous enteritis, the treatment method of fecal bacteria gradually received attention. In 2001, the special topic of fecal matters in < > magazine pushed fecal bacteria transplantation technology and several researchers to an unprecedented height [10].
Don’t be too happy yet
Think about it, a small capsule, easily get [eat not fat] physique, and say goodbye to small belly, elephant leg…
However, fat people who want to lose weight easily should not be too busy to be happy first. The study is still in the experimental stage and still has a long way to go before it can be put on the market.
Although the clinical research on fecal bacteria transplantation has achieved gratifying results, However, its safety is still worth further discussion. Even in the United States, which is widely used, fecal bacteria transplantation has strict identification and fecal bacteria donor screening principles in the treatment of diarrhea related to Clostridium difficile infection. Patients must also be informed that fecal bacteria transplantation is still in the experimental stage and needs to bear the corresponding risks.
Are you willing to eat excrement for the sake of being thin?
If this study is successful and fecal bacteria weight loss is put on the market, would you like to try it?
The Blaze website conducted an online survey and the poll showed [11]:
37% chose Yes;
31% chose No;
The remaining 32% chose not to be sure that they needed to know more or that I was satisfied with my weight and did not need to lose weight.
It seems that many people can accept this strange research.
Imagine the future: at that time, [have you eaten shit] will not be a curse, but a warm greeting, replacing [have you eaten shit] in the important position of interpersonal communication.
And Dr. Clove has something to say:
You are all willing to eat excrement in order to lose weight, why don’t you want to exercise? Is it harder to run than to eat excrement? Huh?
Before the therapy of “eating excrement to lose weight” comes on the market, you should lose weight through [reasonable diet and scientific exercise].
