I was perusing my daily news stops and came across this article:

http://news.oneindia.in/2010/03/05/m...ng-youfat.html

I've never heard of TLR5 but I do remember talking about the flagella of organisms in junior high science class. These things are actually floating in our guts!!!

Anyway, in trying to look around on the net for info about TLR5 and how it functions, it occured to me that it would be cool to have a discussion of the science at play in our bodies. I am always coming across articles with interesting little tidbits about the newest findings and research.

Remember the ear growing on the rats back?!!

Anyway, my (rudimentary) approach to the science of fat says "Hey, just increase your TLR5 and it will help you lose weight by lassoing more of those nasty bacteria flaggelas, right?"

Well, no.

I found this on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TLR_5
but there isnt a lot of info out there about how TLR5 production can be naturally increased in the body.
