There was a lot of media coverage on the 2020 finding that average body temperature has declined 1.2 degrees F since 1880, probably due to lower inflammation. Somehow though, no one asked the obvious question: wouldn't a higher metabolic rate help keep 19th century people thin?
There were three sets of measurements in the study, one in the late 19th century, one in the 1970's, and the last in 2010. Amazingly, the samples from the 1970's had temperatures closer to those from the 19th century!pic.twitter.com/sqTTHMOFGj
That is to say, most of the drop in body temperature occurred just as the obesity epidemic began to take off in the 1980's. This also coincided with a large and mysterious decline in blood pressure, even as people grew fatter
Something took places in the 80's that had a larger effect on the reduction of body temperature than everything in the last century. I really don't know what it is and the only guess I have is that it might be related to the introduction of hand soap stations.
lower inflammation these days…how could that be possible given grain-heavy dietary advice and seed oils?
One possible explanation is that the previous food wasn't really any better. Reserving meat for the elites and having the poor subsist on grains instead was a common occurrence across all cultures and historic periods.
@LandsharkRides ray peat metabolism blah blah blah
This dude knows
Lower body temp is indicative of a slowed metabolism
