Methylmercury cysteine is an extra amino acid, and obesity is indistinguishable from mild kwashiorkor.

You are simply wrong about how everything involved works. It's a diseased, swollen tissue, not "energy storage".

Lol you guys are unbelievable. Go to Google, type in kwashiorkor, go to images and tell me that's indistinguishable from your average fatass.

Absolute muppet.

It's only a bit milder, because only one amino acid is missing, while google shows you extra severe cases, often mixed with general malnutrition.

There is evidence that methylmercurycysteine

1. occurs in sea life

2. occurs incorporated into proteins
