Leptin is more than a satiety hormone—it's a central player in energy balance, behaviour, and our non-conscious response to palatable foods. Lets' take a look 👀. A 🧵 1/12
On the tube in London today & I see that #deadpool is advertising #alkaline pH9 water 👀 A reminder that everything you eat & drink has to pass through your stomach which is pH1.5 & neutralised to pH7 once it enters the small intestine. Don’t waste £$€ on this 🐂💩
