Medical Hypotheses, 05/06/09
Berkemeyer S et al. - The most obvious reason for obesity, given healthy body functioning, is a positive calorie balance. This article delves into the lesser studied realm of the relationship of weight gain, in particular adipose tissue gain, with increased hydrogen ion concentration, taking protein and organic acids as important caveats in this discussion. The solution to the acid accumulation is discussed not in protein limitation but an increase in the consumption of vegetables and fruits. Finally, this review article based on studies published puts forward a physiological basis including a hypothesis to explain the possible link between hydrogen ion concentration and weight gain.
