There is an interesting new extensive study on human metabolism that was just published in Science was discussed by Dr. John Torres on the Today Show that found several quite surprising findings:
Looking at the CO2 emissions of groups that ranged from 8 day old to 95yrs old. Birth to 1 yrs old very high rate. Age 1 to 20 it slows down by 3% per year.
From 20 to 60 the rate stays the same irrespective of sex.
They found in Pregnancy and Menopause it still stays the same.
Then after 60yrs old it starts slowing down.
They say when you in your 30's and 40's it is not the metabolism putting on the pounds it is calorie intake.
Kristin Kirkpatrick registered dietitian at Cleveland Clinic also was on to discuss the study and they seem to classify the results and well founded in the data and the ramifications it will have across several disciplines.
