Thank you for looking into this! It is looking less and less ethical all the time...kind of like that genetic manipulation injection some people have been tricked into taking...

Thanks! I looked into this mostly because of metformin, and it's always interesting to look into current research. This article was sort of intended to provide that bit of outline while also positing questions regarding why metformin would induce Lac-Phe and why would we produce Lac-Phe during intense exercise. It's asking the question of why that tends to get missed for the what, so research such as this may explain how metformin produces its weight-loss effect but it doesn't answer if this may be a good thing or if there may be issues down the line.
