Fat is an important factor in the proper development and functionality of the brain.
When properly nourished, the brain uses many
fats for the creation and maintainance of the
myalin shealths which greatly affect neurotransmission speed. I am just wondering if the affects the Acutaine has on the production and utilization of fat has anything to do with some of the psychiatric complaints that have been reported.The only problem I forsee is that, if it were to cause problems via this mechanizm, it wouldn't be evident for quite some time, which seems to be conisistant with the delayed reports of depression in Acutain users about 6 months. The brain's fat content cannot be changed over night.
Again this is just a theory.
