Fast T friend

Albeit the causal notion here is indeed bordering on criminal over simplification, the irony isn't lost

I'd be doing a lot better if I'd listen to my gut feelings more.

It controls our digestive muscles and the secretion of enzymes, which it varies according to the bulk and nutrient composition of our food. It learns, it remembers, in a sense it can be said to <EM>understand</EM> digestion. Spooky, but its function doesn’t end there (and neither will my wild over-simplifications).</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://doomsdaylabs.com/2008/12/the-enteric-nervous-system-our-gastrointestinal-overlord/"><P>Since the ability to metabolize nutrients for energy was a pre-requisite for the evolution of higher functions like locomotion, our central nervous system (head-brain et al.) developed <EM>after</EM> our enteric nervous system. This means the “<A target="_blank" href="http://www.psyking.net/id36.htm" title="The Enteric Nervous System: The Brain in the Gut"><STRONG>second</STRONG></A>” brain in your belly was really here first.</p> <P>If you turn this situation on its side and squint, you can see that our heads, our minds, our opposable thumbs…all exist in the service of our stomachs! Essentially, your entire body is one big prehensile appendage of your digestive system.</p> <DIV class="sociable">
