Capiert Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) I get the idea the body can't deal well with (some) molecules like fructose or starch & so stores them as fat. (Versus e.g. glucose.) Instead muscle is broken down easier (or let's say faster, than those difficult fat deposits). During childhood & teens those specific fat deposits might not become noticeable. But later (in life, accumulating) things like "beer bellys" & "bread baskets" become noticeable on some human bodies. Those rounding curves don't get smaller on their own (either). The (natural) tendancy seems to be: getting "fatter" (no matter how hard trying to reduce (fat) weight). Considering: (many processed) foods have fructose (_glucose sirup) added as a sales gimick to get people to eat them (more). Youtube video "Sugar the bitter truth". & that some livestock are eating those foods too, to recycle the waste(d food)s, thus getting more fat. ..& reused. Then the getting fatter tendancy in life, might be explained. E.g. recognized (partially). & a thorough natural fat reduction of the final last fat pounds seems like mission impossible. The bad bugs (=bacteria) are being fed ("faster") by refined (=pure) carbohydrates, meaning they have no stumbling blocks (like vitamins, minerals, ..& other complex things) & we feed on their (bacterial) waste products. What I've observed is various mild acids help reduce body fat: Lemon juice (citric acid) in water, black or green tea (tannic acid), apple cider vinegar (acetic acid), green coffee extract (chlorophylic acid). Some also (reduce) hunger. Ascorbic acid (=Vitamin C (+Zn, time release) + sausage seems to produce muscle! Excess protein? Anti_bacterial? Or is the saltpeter affecting that? Fat is made of fatty acid(s) & glycerin. Maybe the (acidic) pH tips the scale & the body tries to rid or eliminate fat (osmotically: higher concentration to lower? seems doubtful). Competative acidity, as solvent? Or just too much acid sensed, & reserves must be reduced? Maybe (also) bitter (toxifies) body fats, so the body wants to get rid of it, throwing out the fat (bound to bitter) too? I'd be interested in what we could naturally add to e.g. beer; bread; butter which would NOT ruin their flavour, but would also reduce body fat. (Sweet) Beer's strategy with bitter hops does NOT seem to be enough when also eating too. Martin Luther's wife probably boiled the (toasted (=roasted)?) bread crumbs (pieces left over from the mass's loaves) & let it sit (weeks?) to ferment, for beer. ? Otherwise she did NOT rebake the bread pieces & the (fresh=grape juice) wine had the yeast, & she (had) only put the crumbs into water. Cheers Edited May 27, 2018 by Capiert -1

Yes, (chemicals=molecules, their reaction's) complexity influencing (which) speed (=rate) thus tilting which (tendency) direction, thick or thin. Thanks red is well loved in China.

John Cuthber Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 The body is generally quite good at converting chemicals. Starch, for example, is quite rapidly degraded in the stomach to form glucose which is then absorbed. About a quarter or a half of the fructose is converted to glucose- the rest is metabolised via different pathways. What is in beer that makes people fat is, essentially, calories. It doesn't matter much if those calories are in the form of sugar or alcohol; if you eat more energy than you use, the body stores the excess by making fat. Incidentally, a linguistic point; when talking about people in English, fat is not the same as thick. Fat means they weigh too much. Thick is usually taken to mean "thick headed" i.e. stupid. So, yes, beer makes people thick- but not in the way you meant.

It doesn't matter much if those calories are in the form of sugar or alcohol; if you eat more energy than you use, the body stores the excess by making fat. So decreasing the carbs (=carbohydrates) is a good strategy, to start with? That would mean fermenting more (CO2) gas than alcohol, & toasting (or burning) your bread to burn off energy. But what can we do with butter (fat)? I thought the trend nowadays was good vs bad bacteria. The bad 1's make people thick or fat because they are so efficient using the food molecules. Quote Incidentally, a linguistic point; when talking about people in English, fat is not the same as thick. Fat means they weigh too much. Thick is usually taken to mean "thick headed" i.e. stupid. So, yes, beer makes people thick- but not in the way you meant. (Yes) ok, so what sort of (grain?) molecule is responsible for that: (stupidity)? alcohol?; but fat? Malt sugar?, or is there some other specific chemical compound? Or should I be asking, what molecules are missing to prevent that process? PS I've also noticed 2 different distilled (liquer) alcohols. 1 caused a mental collapse, (e.g. 1 particular gin (others not), so a sugar was probably involved); while most rums allow maintaining consciousness to the same percentage intake. What could be responsible for the 2 different affects? Chemical tampering?; Surely not age, because many (old) scotches are reknown for their quality. What determines the alcohol's efficiency?

If we feed our body efficiently, it will function optimally. If we eat as a means for merely entertainment, and not fuel, then the more food means more fun, however more fat.

It's substituting these drinks instead of more calorie laden drinks like sodas and beers that lets people lose weight.
John Cuthber Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 There's also the simple "with a belly full of water there's less room for food" effect.
Sensei Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 (normal) beer does not have (significant amount of) sugar. To cause re-fermentation at the end of brewing process, there is added little amount of sugar, but it's converted to Carbon Dioxide gas bubbles by the last alive yeast. When they run out of the food (=sugar), they die.
