and the reading continues with this controversial quote: "The authors of the ETH set out to look at the metabolic rates of the various organs. By a diligent search of the literature, they found that along with the brain, the the heart, the kidneys, the liver and the gastro-intestinal tract account for the vast majority of the total BMR. They dubbed these organs as ‘expensive tissues’ because they consume a large amount of energy as compared to their size. (Surprisingly, muscle mass doesn’t contribute all that much to the total metabolic rate (skin and bone contribute even less), which gives the lie to that old notion — that I, myself, have fallen prey to — that replacing fat with muscle increases metabolism significantly.)" wow. i wonder how this is going to bunch up some peoples panties.
