This will probably be the last post, other than perhaps dumping articles over in the library, regarding "leptin spikes". And I don't normally link to and discuss abstracts, but in this case the abstract says it all. Over on Mercola's hatchet job on starch, as discussed in my previous post, Ron Rosedale MD provided that science he's supposedly bridging over into medicine to support his contention that carbs "spike" leptin. Here was the first comment addressing yours truly:
Because you do not know the science, does not mean that it doesn't exist. This is over 10 years old. There are many articles subsequently that support and verify this. "Evidence That Glucose Metabolism Regulates Leptin Secretion from Cultured Rat Adipocytes" www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/.../9449624 Endocrinology,1998 Feb;139(2):551-8 "We conclude that glucose transport and metabolism are important factors in the regulation of leptin expression and secretion."
His repetition of the citation later in comments is illustrative of Rosedale's debate tactics. The strategy is to (a) allude to a wealth of research supporting one's opinion, (b) cite one study that appears to support one's contention but not really, and (c) repeat as often as necessary using the same one cite, and apparently (d) hoping nobody will notice that the "many articles" and "robust evidence" has never materialized. I've called him on the in vitro study previously, and it is amazing the ease with which one can assemble a landslide of research that demolishes his claim. I'm going to leave you with this last one:
