Plump Belly To Curvy:
I do have loads of official medical journal sources too, but not handy. The basic dynamic is blood becomes too acidic because of our diet, and cholesterol is produced as a sort of bandaid to avoid the acid blood eating away at our blood veins. So cholesterol is caught up in plaque and clots. But these largely firm from calcium deposits. The calcium is leached from your bones to add basic oh to the acid to neutralize it. This is a big reason for osteoporosis. Cutting cholesterol down is a key reason why so many middle aged people have low hormones and get hormone replacement therapy much more in the last 29 years or so. I happened to be at a good fats conference when too high cholesterol numbers were dropped down to a level doctors there (MDs) shared among themselves they feared was too low.
Medical literature has many articles on how many small subcutaneous fat (soft surface fat) cells actually protect against some cancers, and do not contribute to metabolic problems. Especially in lower body fat, but also in breasts. Large, more filled cells do cause metabolic problems. Visceral fat (hard belly fat) is the type which causes the most metabolic problems. However if you lose weight or yo-yo, visceral fat burns away faster than subcutaneous fat. Visceral fat is higher metabolic fat. So you can get rid of a bunch of it by eating healthier, exercising, and losing it preferentially. While still carrying a lot of subcutaneous fat.
It's why you see the paradox of seemingly healthy very heavy people.
Although I am not a healthcare professional,
medical literature search will back up what I'm saying in detail. I did that research before gaining after seeing a number of highly informed posts and comments here on FF in April 2021 about why heavy cream is a healthy way to gain.
I would like to see the medical sources you referenced - especially the sources because not all medical studies are created equal. I usually try to post digestible sources, but if you have something that breaks down the studies, I would love to see them.
I would especially love to see your sources on blood acidity as food doesn't make your blood acidic. It makes your
urine acidic. Under normal circumstances, the body is very good at maintaining homeostasis.
You are also wrong about cholesterol. We need cholesterol to build cell membranes, make hormones, bile acid, and help our metabolisms function. But not all cholesterol is created equal and it is possible to overdo it.
Also, I am not saying that heavy cream is the devil. I am saying to be mindful of your consumption as over-consumption may cause unintended consequences. And if you are going for a muscular body with a squishy belly, heavy cream is best used as a calorie
supplement.
Which is what I said.
And I should know because I am an ex-gainer turned feeder who is muscular and studied biology in college.
Also, why are you using FF as a source? When I make posts, I cite my sources
because I know FF isn't a good source of information. I have spent the past two years correcting dangerous and deadly information I've seen in these very forms. It's why I have so many posts. I have seen so many posts promoting habits that can land people in the hospital or kill them.
