Even more so. Not absolute weight loss but the effect of loss of the systemic inflammation due to a surplus of visceral fat which has significantly more systemic effect than subcutaneous fat or other types of loss of mass.

Thx. I would like to learn more about the history (old greek logics), the fundamental setup and whatever this community (as doctors we are in the dark) would advise.

Becoming a doctor is a privilege, staying one is becoming increasingly more frustrating.

Maybe not so technical but as a curious person i feel i collect so many articles in instapaper but never take the time to reread them.

I do read though, mostly offline. Books, newspapers and articles. My focus is better offline.

Combining data mining and my offline focus, it would be great if you could make a tool that categorizes my instapaper articles and converts it to theme numbers (big data, health care, artificial intelligence, food, etc) that can be downloaded in pdf.

Would be so cool! Thanks for asking the question.
